Semi-nonparametric Estimation of Extended Ordered Probit Models
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a semi-nonparametric estimator for a series of generalized models that nest the Ordered Probit model and thereby relax the distributional assumptions in that model. It describes a new Stata command for the estimation of such models and presents an illustration of the approach.

Semi-parametric models for satisfaction with income
An overview is presented of some parametric and semi-parametric models, estimators, and specification tests that can be used to analyze ordered response variables. In particular, limited dependent variable models that generalize ordered probit are compared to regression models that generalize the linear model. These techniques are then applied to analyze how self-reported satisfaction with hous...
متن کاملNonparametric Priors for Ordinal Bayesian Social Science Models: Specification and Estimation
A generalized linear mixed model, ordered probit, is used to estimate levels of stress in presidential political appointees as a means of understanding their surprisingly short tenures. A Bayesian approach is developed, where the random effects are modeled with a Dirichlet process mixture prior, allowing for useful incorporation of prior information, but retaining some vagueness in the form of ...
متن کاملoglmx: A Package for Estimation of Ordered Generalized Linear Models
Ordered discrete dependent variable models such as ordered probit and ordered logit are frequently used across the social sciences to study outcomes including health status, happiness, wealth and educational attainment. Unlike in the case of OLS, unaccounted for heteroskedasticity in these models can lead to biased parameter estimates. This paper introduces the oglmx package for the R statistic...
متن کاملOrdered Response Models
We discuss regression models for ordered responses, such as ratings of bonds, schooling attainment, or measures of subjective well-being. Commonly used models in this context are the ordered logit and ordered probit regression models. They are based on an underlying latent model with single index function and constant thresholds. We argue that these approaches are overly restrictive and preclud...
متن کاملWorking Paper Series Categorical Data Categorical Data
Categorical outcome (or discrete outcome or qualitative response) regression models are models for a discrete dependent variable recording in which of two or more categories an outcome of interest lies. For binary data (two categories) probit and logit models or semiparametric methods are used. For multinomial data (more than two categories) that are unordered, common models are multinomial and...
