条件分位数中的样本选择检验AI 解读

Summary This paper provides distribution free tests for detecting sample selection in conditional quantile functions. The first test is an omitted predictor test with the propensity score as the omitted variable. In the case of rejection we cannot distinguish between rejection due to genuine selection or to misspecification. Thus, we suggest a second test using only individuals with propensity score close to one. The latter relies on an ‘identification at infinity’ argument,…

堆积报告的持续时间数据建模：新生儿死亡率应用AI 解读

In 2005, the Indian Government launched a conditional cash-incentive program to encourage institutional delivery.

We model mortality using survival analysis, paying special attention to substantial heaping, a form of measurement error, present in the data. The main objective of this paper is to provide a set of sufficient conditions for identification and…
