Efficient Semi Parametric Scoring Estimation of Sample Selection
نویسنده
چکیده
A semi parametric profil~ likelihood method is proposed for estimation of sample selection models. The method is a two step scoring semi parametric estimation procedure based on index formulation and kernel density estimation. Under some regularity conditions, the estimator is asymptotically normal. This method can be applied to estimation of general sample selection models with multiple regimes and sequential choice models with selectivity. For the binary choice sample selection model, the estimator is asymptotically efficiency in the sense that its asymptotic variance matrix attains the asymptotic bound of G. Chamberlain.

Semiparametric modeling of autonomous nonlinear dynamical systems with applications
In this paper, we propose a semi-parametric model for autonomous nonlinear dynamical systems and devise an estimation procedure for model fitting. This model incorporates subjectspecific effects and can be viewed as a nonlinear semi-parametric mixed effects model. We also propose a computationally efficient model selection procedure. We prove consistency of the proposed estimator under suitable...
متن کاملThe economic value of controlling for large losses in portfolio selection
During financial crises equity portfolios have suffered large losses. Methodologies for portfolio selection taking into account the possibility of large losses have existed for decades but their economic value is not well established. This article investigates the economic value in reducing the probability of large losses in portfolio selection. We combine mean-variance analysis with semi-param...
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...
متن کاملSemiparametric Efficient and Robust Estimation of an Unknown Symmetric Population Under Arbitrary Sample Selection Bias
We propose semiparametric methods to estimate the center and shape of a symmetric population when a representative sample of the population is unavailable due to selection bias. We allow an arbitrary sample selection mechanism determined by the data collection procedure, and we do not impose any parametric form on the population distribution. Under this general framework, we construct a family ...
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...
