The editing software used by the Economic Census offers a variety of imputation options, many of which employ statistical models. In prior censuses, the services sectors portion of the Economic Census has relied on industry average imputation as its primary statistical imputation model. This ratio imputation method uses weighted least squares estimates for no-intercept simple linear regression ...

Abstract It has previously been shown that ordinary least squares can be used to estimate the coefficients of single-index model under only mild conditions. However, estimator is non-robust leading poor estimates for some models. In this paper we propose a new sliced least-squares utilizes ideas from Sliced Inverse Regression. Slices with problematic observations contribute high variability in ...

We propose the “average approach,” where the worth of a coalition is a weighted average of its worth for different partitions of the players’ set, as a unifying method to extend values for characteristic function form games. Our method allows us to extend the equal division value, the equal surplus value, the consensus value, the λ-egalitarian Shapley value, and the least-square family. For eac...
