Instrumental Variable Estimation of Nonlinear Models with Nonclassical Measurement Error Using Control Variates∗
We consider nonlinear models with an independent variable that is measured with error. The measurement error can be correlated with the true value, i.e. the measurement error is allowed to be nonclassical. We show that we can use a control variate estimator to estimate the parameters of interest. If we are prepared to make an assumption of the joint distribution of the first-stage and measureme...
متن کاملEstimation of Misclassification Error Using Bayesian Classifiers
Bayesian classifiers provide relatively good performance compared with other more complex algorithms. Misclassification ratio is very low for trained samples, but in the case of outliers the misclassification error may increase significantly. The usage of ‘summation hack’ method in Bayesian classification algorithm can reduce the misclassifications rate for untrained samples. The goal of this p...
متن کاملOptimal Instrumental Variables Estimation for ARMA Models
In this paper a new class of Instrumental Variables estimators for linear processes and in particular ARMA models is developed. Previously, IV estimators based on lagged observations as instruments have been used to account for unmodelled MA(q) errors in the estimation of the AR parameters. Here it is shown that these IV methods can be used to improve efficiency of linear time series estimators...
متن کاملInstrumental Variables Estimation of Nonparametric Models with Discrete Endogenous Regressors
This paper presents new instrumental variables estimators for nonparametric models with discrete endogenous regressors. The model speci cation is su ciently general to include structural models, triangular simultaneous equations and certain models of measurement error. Restricting the analysis to discrete endogenous regressors is an integral component of the analysis since a similar model with ...
متن کاملEstimation with Many Instrumental Variables∗
Using many valid instrumental variables has the potential to improve efficiency but makes the usual inference procedures inaccurate. We give corrected standard errors, an extension of Bekker (1994) to nonnormal disturbances, that adjust for many instruments. We find that this adujstment is useful in empirical work, simulations, and in the asymptotic theory. Use of the corrected standard errors ...
