Using Weights to Adjust for Sample Selection When Auxiliary Information Is Available
This article analyzes generalized method of moments estimation when the sample is not a random draw from the population of interest. Auxiliary information, in the form of moments from the population of interest, is exploited to compute weights that are proportional to the inverse probability of selection. The essential idea is to construct weights for each observation in the primary data such t...
متن کاملUsing Auxiliary Information to Adjust for Non-response in Weighting a Linked Sample of Administrative Records
Federal estate tax returns are a rich source of information on the assets and liabilities associated with decedents, as well as data on beneficiaries of estates. When linked with income tax data for the decedents and their beneficiaries, the resulting data base provides a unique opportunity to study a variety of important economic issues relating to the transfer of wealth and the accumulation o...
متن کاملSample size and power determination when limited preliminary information is available
BACKGROUND We describe a novel strategy for power and sample size determination developed for studies utilizing investigational technologies with limited available preliminary data, specifically of imaging biomarkers. We evaluated diffuse optical spectroscopic imaging (DOSI), an experimental noninvasive imaging technique that may be capable of assessing changes in mammographic density. Because ...
متن کاملTarget Selection as Variable Selection: Using the Lasso to Select Auxiliary Vectors for the Construction of Survey Weights∗
Survey nonresponse is a ubiquitous problem in modern survey research. As individuals have become less likely to respond to surveys there has been a simultaneous rise in highly granular data sources that can be used to help ameliorate the nonresponse problem. While much research has been done on post-hoc weighting methods, which provide a flexible and general solution for unit nonresponse, there...
متن کاملModel Selection for Mixture Models Using Perfect Sample
We have considered a perfect sample method for model selection of finite mixture models with either known (fixed) or unknown number of components which can be applied in the most general setting with assumptions on the relation between the rival models and the true distribution. It is, both, one or neither to be well-specified or mis-specified, they may be nested or non-nested. We consider mixt...
