Weighted least squares estimators in possibly misspecified nonlinear regression
نویسنده
چکیده
The behavior of estimators for misspecified parametric models has been well studied. We consider estimators for misspecified nonlinear regression models, with error and covariates possibly dependent. These models are described by specifying a parametric model for the conditional expectation of the response given the covariates. This is a parametric family of conditional constraints, which makes the model itself close to nonparametric. We study the behavior of weighted least squares estimators both when the regression function is correctly specified, and when it is misspecified and also involves possible additional covariates.

Comparisons among Some Estimators in Misspecified Linear Models with Multicollinearity
In this paper we deal with comparisons among several estimators available in situations of multicollinearity (e.g., the r k class estimator proposed by Baye and Parker, the ordinary ridge regression (ORR) estimator, the principal components regression (PCR) estimator and also the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator) for a misspecified linear model where misspecification is due to omission of...
متن کاملAn Encompassing Approach to Conditional Mean Tests with Applications to Testing Nonnested Hypotheses
A general class of tests designed to detect conditional mean misspecification for cross section or time series applications is proposed. The tests are derived from a particular application of the encompassing principle. The resulting conditional mean encompassing (CME) tests contain as special cases a version of the Lagrange Multiplier test for nested models, a new test in the presence of nonne...
متن کاملWeighted linear least squares estimation of diffusion MRI parameters: Strengths, limitations, and pitfalls
PURPOSE Linear least squares estimators are widely used in diffusion MRI for the estimation of diffusion parameters. Although adding proper weights is necessary to increase the precision of these linear estimators, there is no consensus on how to practically define them. In this study, the impact of the commonly used weighting strategies on the accuracy and precision of linear diffusion paramet...
متن کاملFrequency Domain Weighted Nonlinear Least Squares Estimation of Continuous-time, Time-Varying Systems∗
A frequency domain least squares estimator is presented for identifying linear, continuous-time, time-varying dynamical systems. The model considered is a linear, ordinary differential equation whose coefficients vary as polynomials in time. A frequency domain approach is used, thus allowing the user to determine easily the frequency band(s) of interest. It is shown that the bias errors due to ...
متن کاملOn the Performance of Some Biased Estimators in a Misspecified Model with Correlated Regressors
In this paper, the effect of misspecification due to omission of relevant variables on the dominance of the r −(k, d) class estimator proposed by Özkale (2012), over the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator and some other competing estimators when some of the regressors in the linear regression model are correlated, have been studied with respect to the mean squared error criterion. A simulat...
