This paper uses recent data for Germany and a new outcome variable to assess the consequences of parental separation on the well-being of youths. In particular, it is considered how subjective well-being, elicited from an ordinal 11-point general life satisfaction question, differs between youths living in intact and non-intact families, holding many other potential determinants of well-being c...
Random utility models often involve terms which represent alternative-specific errors, and the main attractive feature of the multinomial probit (MNP) model is that it allows a rather general covariance structure for these errors. However, since observed choices only reveal information regarding utility differences, and since scale cannot be determined, not all parameters in an arbitr~iry MNP s...
We present a new prior and corresponding algorithm for Bayesian analysis of the multinomial probit model. Our new approach places a prior directly on the identi"ed parameter space. The key is the speci"cation of a prior on the covariance matrix so that the (1,1) element if "xed at 1 and it is possible to draw from the posterior using standard distributions. Analytical results are derived which ...
This article provides a framework for estimating the marginal likelihood for the purpose of Bayesian model comparisons . The approach extends and completes the method presented in Chib (1995) by overcoming the problems associated with the presence of intractable full conditional densities. The proposed method is developed in the context of MCMC chains produced by the Metropolis–Hastings algorit...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Most current thermal-germination models are parameterized with subpopulation-specific rate data, interpolated from cumulative-germination-response curves. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relative accuracy of three-dimensional models for predicting cumulative germination response to temperature. Three-dimensional models are relatively more efficient to implement...
In ridge regression the estimation of the ridge parameter is an important issue. This paper generalizes some methods for estimating the ridge parameter for probit ridge regression (PRR) model based on the work of Kibria et al. (2011). The performance of these new estimators are judged by calculating the mean square error (MSE) using Monte Carlo simulations. In the design of the experiment we ch...
One of the most widely used data augmentation algorithms is Albert and Chib’s (1993) algorithm for Bayesian probit regression. Polson, Scott and Windle (2013) recently introduced an analogous algorithm for Bayesian logistic regression. The main difference between the two is that Albert and Chib’s (1993) truncated normals are replaced by so-called Polya-Gamma random variables. In this note, we e...
Fires in forest areas are considered an important threat to the Andean Region and the Amazon rainforest. In Colombia, fire is used to expand the agricultural frontier (including illicit crops) which results in deforestation. Given the importance of avoiding deforestation and to control coca expansion, this paper aims to: 1) understand the relationship between fires and deforestation, coca and d...
Generalized linear models with group effects are commonly used in scientific studies. However, there appear to be no results for selecting optimal designs. In this paper, we identify the structure of locally optimal designs, provide a general strategy to determine the design points and the corresponding weights for optimal designs, and present theoretical results for the special case of D-optim...
Patient hospital choice reform in Norway was introduced in 2001. Waiting times for treatments at hospitals were published, and patients and their physicians were able to select hospitals for services. We develop a model of patient response, and study the empirical impact of the reform. Our data set consists of hospital admission information between 1999 and 2005, as well as hospital and area ch...
