Moment-based Inference with Stratified Data
نویسنده
چکیده
Many data sets used by economists and other social scientists are collected by stratified sampling. The sampling scheme used to collect the data induces a probability distribution on the observed sample that differs from the target or underlying distribution for which inference is to be made. If this effect is not taken into account, subsequent statistical inference can be seriously biased. This paper shows how to do efficient semiparametric inference in moment restriction models when data from the target population are collected by three widely used sampling schemes: variable probability sampling, multinomial sampling, and standard stratified sampling.

Gmm Based Inference with Standard Stratified Samples When the Aggregate Shares Are Known
We show how to do efficient moment based inference using the generalized method of moments (GMM) when data is collected by standard stratified sampling and the maintained assumption is that the aggregate shares are known.
متن کاملClassical and Bayesian Inference in Two Parameter Exponential Distribution with Randomly Censored Data
Abstract. This paper deals with the classical and Bayesian estimation for two parameter exponential distribution having scale and location parameters with randomly censored data. The censoring time is also assumed to follow a two parameter exponential distribution with different scale but same location parameter. The main stress is on the location parameter in this paper. This parameter has not...
متن کاملStatistical Inference Based on Pooled Data: A Moment-Based Estimating Equation Approach
We consider statistical inference on parameters of a distribution when only pooled data are observed. A moment-based estimating equation approach is proposed to deal with situations where likelihood functions based on pooled data are difficult to work with. We outline the method to obtain estimates and test statistics of the parameters of interest in the general setting. We demonstrate the appr...
متن کاملIt Supported Statistical Inference: a Combined Meta- Analysis of Territorially Stratified Data
There are various designs for inference about stratified data, based on stratified sampling schemes. The approach in this paper proposes to deploy the methodology of meta-analysis, in particular the combined frequentist and Bayesian model for territorially stratified data. The research presented in this paper uses meta-regression of statistical data collected in Federation of Bosnia and Herzego...
متن کاملAdaptive Moment Closure for Parameter Inference of Biochemical Reaction Networks
Continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) models have become a central tool for understanding the dynamics of complex reaction networks and the importance of stochasticity in the underlying biochemical processes. When such models are employed to answer questions in applications, in order to ensure that the model provides a sufficiently accurate representation of the real system, it is of vital import...
