Efficient Smooth GMM and Dimension Reduction
We propose a new GMM criterion for models defined by conditional moment restrictions based on local averaging. It resembles a statistic based on smoothing techniques used in specification testing. Depending on whether the smoothing parameter is fixed or decreases to zero with the sample size, our approach defines a whole class of estimators. We show that consistency and asymptotic normality fol...
متن کاملAsymptotic F and t Tests in an Effi cient GMM Setting
This paper considers two-step effi cient GMM estimation and inference where the weighting matrix and asymptotic variance matrix are based on the series long run variance estimator. We propose a simple and easy-to-implement modification to the trinity of test statistics in the two-step effi cient GMM setting and show that the modified test statistics are all asymptotically F distributed under th...
متن کاملEfficient GMM with nearly-weak identification
This paper is in the line of the recent literature on weak instruments, which, following the seminal approach of Staiger and Stock (1997) and Stock and Wright (2000) captures weak identification by drifting population moment conditions. In contrast with most of the existing literature, we do not specify a priori which parameters are strongly or weakly identified. We rather consider that weaknes...
متن کاملDetermining an Efficient Frontier in a Stochastic Moments Setting
We propose a new approach to portfolio optimization under uncertainty in the assets’ return distribution. The main idea is to optimize penalty functionals which model the investor’s aversion against this uncertainty. We focus on two specific proposals with an important practical feature: the stability of the resulting portfolio composition under changing input variables. We review existing appr...
متن کاملEfficient Training of GMM Based Speaker Recognition System
Automatic speaker recognition (ASR) is based on speech feature vectors, models, and classifiers. To improve the speaker recognition performance, we must affect at least one of these modules. In this paper we propose to use subband spectral centroids (SSCs) as a complementary features with the traditional MFCC features, and a new GMM training algorithm, with the ultimate goal to search the bette...
