A new semiparametric approach to analysing

چکیده
In this paper we explore the application of Generalised Additive Models of Location, Scale and Shape for the analysis of conditional income distributions in Germany following the reunification. We find that conditional income distributions can generally be modelled using the three parameter Dagum distribution and our results hint at an even more pronounced effect of skill-biased technological change than can be observed by standard mean regression.

A New Semiparametric Approach to Analysing Conditional Income Distributions
In this paper we explore the application of structured additive distributional regression for the analysis of conditional income distributions in Germany following the reunification. Using a bootstrapped Kolmogorov-Smirnov test we find that conditional personal income distributions can generally be modelled using the three parameter Dagum distribution. Additionally our results hint at an even m...
متن کاملRobust high-dimensional semiparametric regression using optimized differencing method applied to the vitamin B2 production data
Background and purpose: By evolving science, knowledge, and technology, we deal with high-dimensional data in which the number of predictors may considerably exceed the sample size. The main problems with high-dimensional data are the estimation of the coefficients and interpretation. For high-dimension problems, classical methods are not reliable because of a large number of predictor variable...
متن کاملGeneralized Ridge Regression Estimator in Semiparametric Regression Models
In the context of ridge regression, the estimation of ridge (shrinkage) parameter plays an important role in analyzing data. Many efforts have been put to develop skills and methods of computing shrinkage estimators for different full-parametric ridge regression approaches, using eigenvalues. However, the estimation of shrinkage parameter is neglected for semiparametric regression models. The m...
متن کاملBayesian semiparametric regression based on mixed model methodology: A tutorial
This tutorial demonstrates the usage of BayesX for analysing Bayesian semiparametric regression models based on mixed model methodology. As an example we consider data on undernutrition of children in Zambia. The tutorial is designed to be self-contained and describes all features of BayesX in detail, that will be needed throughout the tutorial. Therefore it may also serve as a first introducti...
