Estimating panel data duration models with censored data
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a method for estimating a class of panel data duration models, under which an unknown transformation of the duration variable is linearly related to the observed explanatory variables and the unobserved heterogeneity ~or frailty! with completely known error distributions+ This class of duration models includes a panel data proportional hazards model with fixed effects+ The proposed estimator is shown to be n102-consistent and asymptotically normal with dependent right censoring+ The paper provides some discussions on extending the estimator to the cases of longer panels and multiple states+ Some Monte Carlo studies are carried out to illustrate the finite-sample performance of the new estimator+

Estimating Censored Regression Models in R using the censReg Package
We demonstrate how censored regression models (including standard Tobit models) can be estimated in R using the add-on package censReg. This package provides not only the usual maximum likelihood (ML) procedure for cross-sectional data but also the random-effects maximum likelihood procedure for panel data using Gauss-Hermite quadrature.
متن کاملQuantile Regression Estimation of Panel Duration Models with Censored Data∗
This paper studies the estimation of quantile regression panel duration models. We allow for the possibility of endogenous covariates and correlated individual effects in the quantile regression models. We propose a quantile regression approach for panel duration models under conditionally independent censoring. The procedure involves minimizing l1 convex objective functions and is motivated by...
متن کاملEstimation of a Censored Dynamic Panel Data Model
This paper proposes a method for estimating a censored panel data model with a lagged latent dependent variable and individual-specific fixed effects. The main insight is to trim observations in such a way that a certain symmetry, which was destroyed by censoring, is restored. Based on the restored symmetry, orthogonality conditions are constructed and GMM estimation is implemented. Valid asymp...
متن کاملLinear Regression for Dependently Censored Panel Duration Models with Nonadditive Fixed Effects
This paper proposes estimators for a class of panel duration models with induced dependent censoring and fixed effects which may appear nonadditively in the model. No parametric assumptions are made about the distribution of the random error. The dependent censoring implies that the usual differencing approach common in fixed-effects models will lead to disproportionate weighting of the errors,...
متن کاملTracking Interval for Doubly Censored Data with Application of Plasma Droplet Spread Samples
Doubly censoring scheme, which includes left as well as right censored observations, is frequently observed in practical studies. In this paper we introduce a new interval say tracking interval for comparing the two rival models when the data are doubly censored. We obtain the asymptotic properties of maximum likelihood estimator under doubly censored data and drive a statistic for testing the ...
