Estimating Contaminated Limited Dependent Variable Models
Smith for helpful comments and to Richard Blundell for kindly making his data available. In 1imi ted dependent variable models the estimators obtained by maximising the normal likelihood function are generally inconsistent when the assumption of normality ls falseo Arabmazar and Schmidt (1982) have shown that the bias trom non-normality can be substantial when the degree of censoring (or trunca...
متن کاملRobust Estimation Using Least Trimmed Squares
A robust procedure is proposed, starting from least trimmed squares as the initial estimator. The asymptotic distribution of the two-step and multi-step estimators is derived. This allows the use with a pre-specified efficiency under normality. It is argued that the good performance, together with the simplicity of the procedure, should make this the robust estimator of choice for applied work.
متن کاملMaximum likelihood estimation of limited and discrete dependent variable models with nested random effects
Gauss–Hermite quadrature is often used to evaluate and maximize the likelihood for random component probit models. Unfortunately, the estimates are biased for large cluster sizes and/or intraclass correlations. We show that adaptive quadrature largely overcomes these problems. We then extend the adaptive quadrature approach to general random coefficient models with limited and discrete dependen...
متن کاملRobust Estimation in Linear Regression with Molticollinearity and Sparse Models
One of the factors affecting the statistical analysis of the data is the presence of outliers. The methods which are not affected by the outliers are called robust methods. Robust regression methods are robust estimation methods of regression model parameters in the presence of outliers. Besides outliers, the linear dependency of regressor variables, which is called multicollinearity...
متن کاملPseudo-R2 Measures for Some Common Limited Dependent Variable Models
A large number of different Pseudo-R measures for some common limited 2 dependent variable models are surveyed. Measures include those based solely on the maximized likelihoods with and without the restriction that slope coefficients are zero, those which require further calculations based on parameter estimates of the coefficients and variances and those that are based solely on whether the qu...
