Shrinkage methods for instrumental variable estimation∗
This paper proposes shrinkage methods for instrumental variable estimation to solve the “many instruments” problem. Even though using a large number of instruments reduces the asymptotic variances of the estimators, it has been observed both in theoretical works and in practice that in finite samples the estimators may behave very poorly if the number of instruments is large. This problem can b...
متن کاملNonparametric Methods for Inference in the Presence of Instrumental Variables
We suggest two nonparametric approaches, based on kernel methods and orthogonal series to estimating regression functions in the presence of instrumental variables. For the first time in this class of problems, we derive optimal convergence rates, and show that they are attained by particular estimators. In the presence of instrumental variables the relation that identifies the regression funct...
متن کاملInstrumental variable methods for closed-loop system identification
In this paper, several instrumental variable (IV) and instrumental variable-related methods for closed-loop system identification are considered and set in an extended IV framework. Extended IV methods require the appropriate choice of particular design variables, as the number and type of instrumental signals, data prefiltering and the choice of an appropriate norm of the extended IV-criterion...
متن کاملInstrumental variable methods for identifying partial differential equation models
This paper presents instrumental variable methods for identifying partial differential equation models of distributed parameter systems in presence of output measurement noise. Two instrumental variable-based techniques are proposed to handle this continuous-time model identification problem: a basic one using input-only instruments and a more sophisticated refined instrumental variable method....
متن کاملRefined Instrumental Variable methods for closed-loop system identification
This paper describes optimal instrumental variable methods for identifying discretetime transfer function models when the system operates in closed-loop. Several noise models required for the design of optimal prefilters and instruments are analyzed and different approaches are developed according to whether the controller is known or not. Moreover, a new optimal refined instrumental variable t...
