The Maximum Approximate Composite Marginal Likelihood (MACML) Estimation of Multinomial Probit-Based Unordered Response Choice Models
The likelihood functions of multinomial probit (MNP)-based choice models entail the evaluation of analytically-intractable integrals. As a result, such models are usually estimated using maximum simulated likelihood (MSL) techniques. Unfortunately, for many practical situations, the computational cost to ensure good asymptotic MSL estimator properties can be prohibitive and practically infeasib...
متن کاملMarginal Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Item Response Models in R
Item response theory (IRT) models are a class of statistical models used by researchers to describe the response behaviors of individuals to a set of categorically scored items. The most common IRT models can be classified as generalized linear fixedand/or mixed-effect models. Although IRT models appear most often in the psychological testing literature, researchers in other fields have success...
متن کاملZ-Tests in multinomial probit models under simulated maximum likelihood estimation: some small sample properties
This paper analyzes small sample properties of several versions of z-tests in multinomial probit models under simulated maximum likelihood estimation. OurMonte Carlo experiments show that z-tests on utility function coefficients provide more robust results than z-tests on variance covariance parameters. As expected, both the number of observations and the number of random draws in the incorpora...
متن کاملNonparametric Maximum Likelihood Estimation in Models of Multinomial Choice (preliminary and Incomplete)
I consider identification and consistent estimation in models of multinomial choice. I discuss a new and very general identification theorem that applies to multinomial choice models with an additive independent logistically distributed error. I also offer two new consistency results for nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation in the linear utility random coefficients multinomial choice mod...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood estimation of ordered multinomial parameters.
The pool adjacent violator algorithm Ayer et al. (1955, The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 26, 641-647) has long been known to give the maximum likelihood estimator of a series of ordered binomial parameters, based on an independent observation from each distribution (see Barlow et al., 1972, Statistical Inference under Order Restrictions, Wiley, New York). This result has immediate applica...
