Iterative Regularization in Nonparametric Instrumental Regression
We consider the nonparametric regression model with an additive error that is correlated with the explanatory variables. We suppose the existence of instrumental variables that are considered in this model for the identification and the estimation of the regression function. The nonparametric estimation by instrumental variables is an ill-posed linear inverse problem with an unknown but estimab...
متن کاملA Regularization Parameter for Nonsmooth Tikhonov Regularization
In this paper we develop a novel criterion for choosing regularization parameters for nonsmooth Tikhonov functionals. The proposed criterion is solely based on the value function, and thus applicable to a broad range of functionals. It is analytically compared with the local minimum criterion, and a posteriori error estimates are derived. An efficient numerical algorithm for computing the minim...
متن کاملTikhonov Regularization
An important issue in quantitative nance is model calibration. The calibration problem is the inverse of the pricing problem. Instead of computing prices in a model with given values for its parameters, one wishes to compute the values of the model parameters that are consistent with observed prices. Now, it is well-known by physicists that such inverse problems are typically ill-posed. So, if ...
متن کاملA review of instrumental variable estimators for Mendelian randomization
Instrumental variable analysis is an approach for obtaining causal inferences on the effect of an exposure (risk factor) on an outcome from observational data. It has gained in popularity over the past decade with the use of genetic variants as instrumental variables, known as Mendelian randomization. An instrumental variable is associated with the exposure, but not associated with any confound...
متن کاملEdgeworth Approximations for Semiparametric Instrumental Variable Estimators and Test Statistics
We establish the validity of higher order asymptotic expansions to the distribution of a version of the nonlinear semiparametric instrumental variable considered in Newey (1990) as well as to the distribution of a Wald statistic derived from it. We employ local polynomial smoothing with variable bandwidth, which includes local linear, kernel, and [a version of] nearest neighbour estimates as sp...
