Semi-parametric estimation of shifts
نویسندگان
چکیده
AbstractWe observe a large number of functions differing from each other only by a translation parameter. While the main pattern is unknown, we propose to estimate the shift parameters using M -estimators. Fourier transform enables to transform this statistical problem into a semi-parametric framework. We study the convergence of the estimator and provide its asymptotic behavior. Moreover, we use the method in the applied case of velocity curve forecasting.

Semi-parametric estimation of the strategic goods (OPEC oil price)
In the global economy, crude oil is among the most important strategic goods that affects the performance of local and international markets. Prediction of the oil price has always been an important challenging topic in the global economy and producers and consumers have constantly been trying to improve their roll in the oil price changes and for many years OPEC has been one of the key players...
متن کاملModeling zero response data from willingness to pay surveys A semi-parametric estimation
This paper models zero response data from willingness to pay surveys by employing parametric and semi-parametric estimation methods. The result of the specification test indicates the semi-parametric estimation outperforms the parametric estimation significantly. 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
متن کاملA Semi-parametric Estimation of a Structural Misclassification Model
This study extends the parametric estimation of the structural misclassification model (Arrieta, 2008) to analyze over-treatment of medical procedures to a semi-parametric estimation. The estimation is based on a doubleindex semi-parametric maximum likelihood with partial observability. The document shows that misspecification error due to an incorrect assumption about the error distribution ma...
متن کاملSemi-parametric Quantile Regression for Analysing Continuous Longitudinal Responses
Recently, quantile regression (QR) models are often applied for longitudinal data analysis. When the distribution of responses seems to be skew and asymmetric due to outliers and heavy-tails, QR models may work suitably. In this paper, a semi-parametric quantile regression model is developed for analysing continuous longitudinal responses. The error term's distribution is assumed to be Asymmetr...
متن کاملComparison of parametric and semi-parametric binary response models
A Bayesian semi-parametric estimation of the binary response model using Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms is proposed. The performances of the parametric and semi-parametric models are presented. The mean squared errors, receiver operating characteristic curve, and the marginal effect are used as the model selection criteria. Simulated data and Monte Carlo experiments show that unless the bi...
