Model Selection for Mixture Models Using Perfect Sample
We have considered a perfect sample method for model selection of finite mixture models with either known (fixed) or unknown number of components which can be applied in the most general setting with assumptions on the relation between the rival models and the true distribution. It is, both, one or neither to be well-specified or mis-specified, they may be nested or non-nested. We consider mixt...
متن کاملRobust portfolio selection with polyhedral ambiguous inputs
Ambiguity in the inputs of the models is typical especially in portfolio selection problem where the true distribution of random variables is usually unknown. Here we use robust optimization approach to address the ambiguity in conditional-value-at-risk minimization model. We obtain explicit models of the robust conditional-value-at-risk minimization for polyhedral and correlated polyhedral am...
متن کاملThe Effect of Supplementary Health Insurance on Out-of-Pocket Payments for Elderly Households in Urban Areas of Iran: Heckman Selection Model
Objectives: Considering the growth of the elderly population and the need of the elderly for health services and the importance of supplementary insurance on improving the quality of life of the elderly households, this study aimed to investigate the effect of supplementary health insurance on out-of-pocket payments for elderly households in urban areas of Iran. Methods: this descriptive-analy...
متن کاملOn the Use of Holdout Samples for Model Selection
Researchers often hold out data from the estimation of econometric models to use for external validation. In this paper we examine possible rationales for this practice. For concreteness, two examples are considered. The first example (Todd and Wolpin (2008)) is taken from the microeconometrics literature. Suppose the goal is to evaluate the impact of a monetary subsidy to low-income households...
متن کاملIdentification, Data Combination and the Risk of Disclosure
Businesses routinely rely on econometric models to analyze and predict consumer behavior. Estimation of such models may require combining a firm’s internal data with external datasets to take into account sample selection, missing observations, omitted variables and errors in measurement within the existing data source. In this paper we point out that these data problems can be addressed when e...
