Estimation of regression quantiles in complex surveys with data missing at random: An application to birthweight determinants.
The estimation of population parameters using complex survey data requires careful statistical modelling to account for the design features. This is further complicated by unit and item nonresponse for which a number of methods have been developed in order to reduce estimation bias. In this paper, we address some issues that arise when the target of the inference (i.e. the analysis model or mod...
متن کاملKernel Estimation of Distribution Functions and Quantiles with Missing Data
A distribution-free imputation procedure based on nonparametric kernel regression is proposed to estimate the distribution function and quantiles of a random variable that is incompletely observed. Assuming the baseline missing-at-random model for nonrespondence, we discuss consistent estimation via estimating the conditional distribution by the kernel method. A strong uniform convergence rate ...
متن کاملA New Approach to Estimation of Response Probabilities when Missing Data are Not missing at Random
Often the probability of responding depends directly on the outcome value. This case can be treated by postulating a parametric model for the distribution of the outcomes before nonresponse and a model for the response mechanism. The two models define a parametric model for the joint distribution of the outcomes and response indicators, and therefore the parameters of these models can be estima...
متن کاملA Revisit to the Application of Weighted Mixed Regression Estimation in Linear Regression Models with Missing Data
This paper deals with the application of the weighted mixed regression estimation of the coe cients in a linear model when some values of some of the regressors are missing Taking the weight factor as an arbitrary scalar the performance of weighted mixed regression estimator in relation to the conventional least squares and mixed regression estimators is analyzed and the choice of scalar is dis...
متن کاملValue at Risk Estimation using the Kappa Distribution with Application to Insurance Data
The heavy tailed distributions have mostly been used for modeling the financial data. The kappa distribution has higher peak and heavier tail than the normal distribution. In this paper, we consider the estimation of the three unknown parameters of a Kappa distribution for evaluating the value at risk measure. The value at risk (VaR) as a quantile of a distribution is one of the import...
