Modified generalized method of moments for a robust estimation of polytomous logistic model
The maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method, typically used for polytomous logistic regression, is prone to bias due to both misclassification in outcome and contamination in the design matrix. Hence, robust estimators are needed. In this study, we propose such a method for nominal response data with continuous covariates. A generalized method of weighted moments (GMWM) approach is developed...
متن کاملOptimal bandwidth selection for robust generalized method of moments estimation
A two-step generalized method of moments estimation procedure can be made robust to heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation in the data by using a nonparametric estimator of the optimal weighting matrix. This paper addresses the issue of choosing the corresponding smoothing parameter (or bandwidth) so that the resulting point estimate is optimal in a certain sense. We derive an asymptotically op...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Application of semi-analytic method to compute the moments for solution of logistic model
The population growth, is increase in the number of individuals in population and it depends on some random environment effects. There are several different mathematical models for population growth. These models are suitable tool to predict future population growth. One of these models is logistic model. In this paper, by using Feynman-Kac formula, the Adomian decomposition method is applied to ...
متن کاملGeneralized Method of Moments Estimation
2. In practice, researchers find it useful that GMM estimators can be constructed without specifying the full data generating process (which would be required to write down the maximum likelihood estimator.) This has been the case in the study of single equations in a simultaneous system, in the study of potentially misspecified dynamic models designed to match target moments, and in the constr...
