چکیده
This paper investigates asymptotic properties of the maximim likelihood estimator and the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator for the spatial autoregressive model. The rates of convergence of those estimators may depend on some general features of the spatial weights matrix of the model. It is important to make the distinction with different spatial scenarios. Under the scenario that each unit will be influenced by only a few neighboring units, the estimators may have √ n-rate of convergence and be asymptotic normal. When each unit can be influenced by many neighbors, irregularity of the information matrix may occur and various components of the estimators may have different rates of convergence.

متن کاملEstimation of spatial autoregressive panel data models with fixed effects
This paper establishes asymptotic properties of quasi-maximum likelihood estimators for SAR panel data models with fixed effects and SAR disturbances. A direct approach is to estimate all the parameters including the fixed effects. Because of the incidental parameter problem, some parameter estimatorsmay be inconsistent or their distributions are not properly centered. We propose an alternative...

This paper considers an Extended Generalized Half Logistic distribution. We derive some properties of this distribution and then we discuss estimation of the distribution parameters by the methods of moments, maximum likelihood and the new method of minimum spacing distance estimator based on complete data. Also, maximum likelihood equations for estimating the parameters based on Type-I and Typ...

This paper analyzes the properties of a class of estimators, tests, and con dence sets (CSs) when the parameters are not identi ed in parts of the parameter space. Speci cally, we consider estimator criterion functions that are sample averages and are smooth functions of a parameter : This includes log likelihood, quasi-log likelihood, and least squares criterion functions. We determine the as...
