Identi cation of Limited Dependent Variable Models Using a Special Regressor With Limited Support

نویسنده

  • Arthur Lewbel
چکیده

The special regressor method (Lewbel 2000) has been used to identify a variety of limited dependent variable models. Based on its early application to binary choice models, the method required the special regressor to have large (in many cases the entire real line) support, which constrained its usefulness for empirical work. This paper shows that for ordered choice and censored regression models, identi cation only requires a special regressor with limited support.

Regressor and structure selection in NARX models using a structured ANOVA approach

Regressor selection can be viewed as the rst step in the system identi cation process. The bene ts of nding good regressors before estimating complex models are especially clear for nonlinear systems, where the class of possible models is huge. In this article, a structured way of using the tool Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is presented and used for NARX model (nonlinear autoregressive model wi...

Semiparametric Double Index Model Identi cation and Estimation

This paper generalizes the notion of identi cation by functional form to semiparametric contexts. It considers identi cation and estimation of the function F and vector B where M(X) = F[X'B, G(X)], assuming the functions M and G are identied. Identi cation in these models is typically obtained by parametric restrictions or by instrument exclusion restrictions, e.g., assuming that an element of ...

SECURING INTERPRETABILITY OF FUZZY MODELS FOR MODELING NONLINEAR MIMO SYSTEMS USING A HYBRID OF EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHMS

In this study, a Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) is utilized to extract interpretable and compact fuzzy rule bases for modeling nonlinear Multi-input Multi-output (MIMO) systems. In the process of non- linear system identi cation, structure selection, parameter estimation, model performance and model validation are important objectives. Furthermore, se- curing low-level and high-level ...

Nonparametric Identication of Accelerated Failure Time Competing Risks Models

We provide new conditions for identi…cation of accelerated failure time competing risks models. These include Roy models and some auction models. In our set up, unknown regression functions and the joint survivor function of latent disturbance terms are all nonparametric. We show that this model is identi…ed given covariates that are independent of latent errors, provided that a certain rank co...

Single equation instrumental variable models for discrete outcomes are shown to be set not point identifying for the structural functions that deliver the values of the discrete outcome. Identi…ed sets are derived for a general nonparametric model and sharp set identi…cation is demonstrated. Point identi…cation is typically not achieved by imposing parametric restrictions.
