Rank estimation of a location parameter in the binary choice model
This paper proposes a rank-based estimator for a location parameter in the binary choice model under a monotonic index and symmetry condition, given an initial Jnconsistent estimator for the slope parameter. The estimator converges at the usual parametric rate. Compared with existing estimators, no nonparametric smoothing is needed here. A small Monte Carlo study illustrates the usefulness of t...

Abstract In the existing marketing literature, there does not seem to be a widely accepted answer to the question: do consumers react differently to a reduction in price a...
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...
Consistent semiparametric Bayesian inference about a location parameter
We consider the problem of Bayesian inference about the centre of symmetry of a symmetric density on the real line based on independent identically distributed observations. A result of Diaconis and Freedman shows that the posterior distribution of the location parameter may be inconsistent if (symmetrized) Dirichlet process prior is used for the unknown distribution function. We choose a symme...
متن کاملA SIMPLE MODEL FOR THE ESTIMATION OF DIELECTRIC CONSTANTS OF BINARY SOLVENT MIXTURES
A simple and reliable method for quick estimation of the dielectric constant of a binary solvent mixture is proposed. The validity of the proposed method has been tested for a broad range of binary solvent mixtures
