Robust Nonparametric Bias-Corrected Inference in the Regression Discontinuity Design∗
In the regression discontinuity design units are assigned treatment based on whether their value of an observed covariate exceeds a known cutoff. Local polynomial estimators are now routinely employed to construct confidence intervals for treatment effects in this design. The performance of these confidence intervals in applications, however, may be seriously hampered by their sensitivity to th...
متن کاملnprobust: Nonparametric Kernel-Based Estimation and Robust Bias-Corrected Inference∗
Nonparametric kernel density and local polynomial regression estimators are very popular in Statistics, Economics, and many other disciplines. They are routinely employed in applied work, either as part of the main empirical analysis or as a preliminary ingredient entering some other estimation or inference procedure. This article describes the main methodological and numerical features of the ...
متن کاملSurface Estimation, Variable Selection, and the Nonparametric Oracle Property.
Variable selection for multivariate nonparametric regression is an important, yet challenging, problem due, in part, to the infinite dimensionality of the function space. An ideal selection procedure should be automatic, stable, easy to use, and have desirable asymptotic properties. In particular, we define a selection procedure to be nonparametric oracle (np-oracle) if it consistently selects ...
متن کاملModel Selection for Nonparametric Regression
Risk bounds are derived for regression estimation based on model selection over an unrestricted number of models. While a large list of models provides more flexibility, significant selection bias may occur with model selection criteria like AIC. We incorporate a model complexity penalty term in AIC to handle selection bias. Resulting estimators are shown to achieve a trade-off among approximat...
متن کاملComponent Selection and Smoothing in Multivariate Nonparametric Regression
We propose a new method for model selection and model fitting in multivariate nonparametric regression models, in the framework of smoothing spline ANOVA. The “COSSO” is a method of regularization with the penalty functional being the sum of component norms, instead of the squared norm employed in the traditional smoothing spline method. The COSSO provides a unified framework for several recent...
