Computation of Standard Errors
In a previous study (1998), how to evaluate whether adaptive testing data used for online calibration sufficiently fit the item response model used by C. Glas was studied. Three approaches were suggested, based on a Lagrange multiplier (LM) statistic, a Wald statistic, and a cumulative sum (CUMSUM) statistic respectively. For all these methods, the asymptotic variance of the parameter estimates...
متن کاملA Appendix: Standard Errors
There are several issues concerning computing standard errors for the pooled specification in equation (2). First, insofar as there is heterogeneity in the displaced worker earnings losses, then we expect there to be serial correlation in the standard errors at the individual level. This concern arises even in specification (1). We address this concern by clustering at the person level. Second,...
متن کاملComputation of Standard Errors for Maximum-likelihood Estimates in Hidden Markov Models
Explicit computation of the score vector and the observed information matrix in hidden Markov models is described. With the help of the information matrix Wald's con dence intervals can be formed for the model parameters. Finite sample properties of the maximum-likelihood estimator and its standard error are investigated by means of simulation studies. We compare the con dence levels of interva...
متن کاملFinite Population Causal Standard Errors∗
When a researcher estimates the parameters of a regression function using information on all 50 states in the United States, or information on all visits to a website, what is the interpretation of the standard errors? Researchers typically report standard errors that are designed to capture sampling variation, based on viewing the data as a random sample drawn from a large population of intere...
متن کاملGeneration of Errors in Digital Computation
Consider the problem of computing the numerical value f(x) of some function ƒ corresponding to a particular value of x. If x is a physical quantity whose value is known only from measurement, then one has available not x itself but some approximation x*. If x is a mathematical constant, one may again be forced to replace x by some approximate value x*. This is to be expected at least when x is ...
