Simple Estimators For Hard Problems: Endogeneity and Dependence in Binary Choice Related Models and Endogenous Selection or Treatment Model Estimation
This paper describes numerically simple estimators that can be used to estimate binary choice and other related models (such as selection and ordered choice models) when some regressors are endogenous or mismeasured. Simple estimators are provided that allow for discrete or otherwise limited endogenous regressors, lagged dependent variables and other dynamic effects, heteroskedastic and autocor...
متن کاملModel Selection Through Sparse Max Likelihood Estimation Model Selection Through Sparse Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Multivariate Gaussian or Binary Data
We consider the problem of estimating the parameters of a Gaussian or binary distribution in such a way that the resulting undirected graphical model is sparse. Our approach is to solve a maximum likelihood problem with an added l1-norm penalty term. The problem as formulated is convex but the memory requirements and complexity of existing interior point methods are prohibitive for problems wit...
متن کاملDepartment of Quantitative Social Science Endogenous Treatment Effects for Count Data Models with Sample Selection or Endogenous Participation
In this paper we propose a method to estimate models in which an endogenous dichotomous treatment affects a count outcome in the presence of either sample selection or endogenous participation using maximum simulated likelihood. We allow for the treatment to have an effect on both the sample selection or the participation rule and the main outcome. Applications of this model are frequent in man...
متن کاملError estimation and model selection
Machine learning algorithms search a space of possible hypotheses and estimate the error of each hypotheses using a sample. Most often, the goal of classification tasks is to find a hypothesis with a low true (or generalization) misclassification probability (or error rate); however, only the sample (or empirical) error rate can actually be measured and minimized. The true error rate of the ret...
متن کاملStatistical estimation with model selection
The purpose of this paper is to explain the interest and importance of (approximate) models and model selection in Statistics. Starting from the very elementary example of histograms we present a general notion of finite dimensional model for statistical estimation and we explain what type of risk bounds can be expected from the use of one such model. We then give the performance of suitable mo...
