Analysis of Additive Instrumental Variable Models
We apply Bayesian methods to a model involving a binary endogenous regressor and an instrumental variable in which the functional forms of some of the covariates in both the treatment assignment and outcome distributions are unknown. Continuous and binary response variables are considered. Under the assumption that the functional form is additive in the covariates, we develop efficient Markov c...
متن کاملIsotone additive latent variable models
For manifest variables with additive noise and for a given number of latent variables with an assumed distribution, we propose to nonparametrically estimate the association between latent and manifest variables. Our estimation is a two step procedure: first it employs standard factor analysis to estimate the latent variables as theoretical quantiles of the assumed distribution; second, it emplo...
متن کاملVariable Selection in Nonparametric Additive Models.
We consider a nonparametric additive model of a conditional mean function in which the number of variables and additive components may be larger than the sample size but the number of nonzero additive components is "small" relative to the sample size. The statistical problem is to determine which additive components are nonzero. The additive components are approximated by truncated series expan...
متن کاملGeneralized Additive Models with Unknown Link Function Including Variable Selection
The generalized additive model is a well established and strong tool that allows to model smooth effects of predictors on the response. However, if the link function, which is typically chosen as the canonical link, is misspecified, substantial bias is to be expected. A procedure is proposed that simultaneously estimates the form of the link function and the unknown form of the predictor functi...
متن کاملAdditive Schwarz with Variable Weights
For Additive Schwarz preconditioning of nonsymmetric systems, it is proposed to use weights that change from one iteration to the next. At each iteration, weights for all earlier iterations are implicitly chosen to minimize the current residual. This strategy fits the paradigm of the recently proposed multipreconditioned GMRES. Numerical experiments illustrating the potential of the proposed me...
