Minimum Profile Hellinger Distance Estimation For A Semiparametric Mixture Model
In this paper, we propose a new effective estimator for a class of semiparametric mixture models where one component has known distribution with possibly unknown parameters while the other component density and the mixing proportion are unknown. Such semiparametric mixture models have been often used in multiple hypothesis testing and the sequential clustering algorithm. The proposed estimator ...
متن کاملA note on penalized minimum distance estimation in nonparametric regression
The authors introduce a penalized minimum distance regression estimator. They show the estimator to balance, among a sequence of nested models of increasing complexity, the L1–approximation error of each model class and a penalty term which reflects the richness of each model and serves as a upper bound for the estimation error. Une note concernant l’estimation par distance minimale pénalisée e...
متن کاملExplaining Heterogeneity in Risk Preferences Using a Finite Mixture Model
This paper studies the effect of the space (distance) between lotteries' outcomes on risk-taking behavior and the shape of estimated utility and probability weighting functions. Previously investigated experimental data shows a significant space effect in the gain domain. As compared to low spaced lotteries, high spaced lotteries are associated with higher risk aversion for high probabilities o...
متن کاملMinimum Distance Estimation of Randomly Censored Regression Models with Endogeneity
This paper proposes minimum distance estimation procedures for the slope coefficients and location parameter in randomly censored regression models that are used in duration and competing risk models. The proposed procedure generalizes existing work in terms of weakening the restrictions imposed on the distribution of the error term and the censoring variable. Examples of such generalizations i...
متن کاملInterval estimation in a finite mixture model: Modeling P
The performance of interval estimates in a uniform-beta mixture model is evaluated using three computational strategies. Such a model has found use when modeling a distribution of P -values from multiple testing applications. The number of P -values and the closeness of a parameter to the boundary of its space both play a role in the precision of parameter estimates as does the “nearness” of th...
