Judging Mcmc Estimators by Their Asymptotic Variance
The expectation of a function can be estimated by the empirical estimator based on the output of a Markov chain Monte Carlo method. We review results on the asymp-totic variance of the empirical estimator, and on improving the estimator by exploiting knowledge of the underlying distribution or of the transition distribution of the Markov chain.
متن کاملRobust Estimators for Random Coefficient Regression Models
Random coefficient regression models have received considerable attention, especially from econometricians. Previous work has assumed that the coefficients have normal distributions. The variances of the coefficients have, in previous papers, been estimated by maximum likelihood or by least squares methodology applied to the squared residuals from a preliminary (unweighted) fit. Maximum likelih...
متن کاملAsymptotic algorithm for computing the sample variance of interval data
The problem of the sample variance computation for epistemic inter-val-valued data is, in general, NP-hard. Therefore, known efficient algorithms for computing variance require strong restrictions on admissible intervals like the no-subset property or heavy limitations on the number of possible intersections between intervals. A new asymptotic algorithm for computing the upper bound of the samp...
متن کاملNonignorable data in IRT models: Polytomous responses and response propensity models with covariates
Missing data usually present special problems for statistical analyses, especially when the data are not missing at random, that is, when the ignorability principle defined by Rubin (1976) does not hold. Recently, a substantial number of articles have been published on model-based procedures to handle nonignorable missing data due to item nonresponse (Holman & Glas, 2005; Glas & Pimentel, 2008;...
متن کاملAsymptotic variance approximations for invariant estimators in uncertain asset-pricing models
This paper derives explicit expressions for the asymptotic variances of the maximum likelihood and continuously updated GMM estimators under potentially misspecified models. The proposed misspecification-robust variance estimators allow the researcher to conduct valid inference on the model parameters even when the model is rejected by the data. Although the results for the maximum likelihood e...
