Positive-Shrinkage and Pretest Estimation in Multiple Regression: A Monte Carlo Study with Applications
Consider a problem of predicting a response variable using a set of covariates in a linear regression model. If it is a priori known or suspected that a subset of the covariates do not significantly contribute to the overall fit of the model, a restricted model that excludes these covariates, may be sufficient. If, on the other hand, the subset provides useful information, shrinkage meth...
متن کاملMonte-Carlo comparison of alternative estimators for dynamic panel data models
This paper compares the performance of three recently proposed estimators for dynamic panel data models (LSDV bias-corrected, MLE and MDE) along with GMM. Using Monte-Carlo, we find that MLE and biascorrected estimators have the smallest bias and are good alternatives for the GMM. System-GMM outperforms the rest in ‘difficult’ designs. Unfortunately, bias-corrected estimator is not reliable in ...
متن کاملInitial conditions and moment restrictions in dynamic panel data models
Estimation of the dynamic error components model is considered using two alternative linear estimators that are designed to improve the properties of the standard firstdifferenced GMM estimator. Both estimators require restrictions on the initial conditions process. Asymptotic efficiency comparisons and Monte Carlo simulations for the simple AR(1) model demonstrate the dramatic improvement in p...
متن کاملWindow Network Data Envelopment Analysis: An Application to Investment Companies
In this study, the window network data envelopment analysis (WNDEA) model will be proposed, that is capable to be used in the presence of panel data. Additionally, the proposed model is applied to evaluate the dynamic efficiency of 5 investment companies in Tehran stock exchange during the period from 2013 to 2017.
متن کاملAmorphous Silicon Flat Panel Imagers for Medical Application
A new gamma camera based on hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) pixel arrays to be used in nuclear medicine is introduced. Various performance characteristics of a-Si:H imagers are reviewed and compared with those of currently used equipment. An important component in the a-Si:H imager is the scintillator screen. A new approach for fabrication of high resolution CsI(Tl) scintillator layers,...
