Sample selection and observations
Sample Selection for Statistical Parsing
... 4. Sample Selecting for Statistical Parsing In applying sample selection to training a PP-attachment model, we have observed that all effective evaluation functions make use of the model’s current ...

Quantile Regression in the Presence of Sample Selection
... While the first application shows that our test can be quite powerful even in medium-size samples (428 observed wages), considerably larger data sets are available for our second application. In their study on US women’s ...

On Intercept Estimation in the Sample Selection Model
... Asymptotically, we give preference to the Heckman estimator in cases where there is no asymptotic bias and reveal the equivalence of the two estimators under fat-tailed distributions of W i if additionally !(W i ) does ...

Multiplicative-error models with sample selection
... One nice feature of our strategy—contrary to, say, Blundell and Powell (2004 )—is that it extends naturally to fixed-effect specifications for panel data. Consistent estimation of models with group-specific nuisance ...

Estimation of a regression spline sample selection model
... The ‘rug plot’, at the bottom of each graph, shows the covariate values. To avoid clutter, credible intervals for W&K have not been reported. Due to the identifiability constraints, the estimated curves are centered ...

Estimation and Variable Selection in High-Dimensional Settings with Mismeasured Observations

Finite sample criteria for autoregressive model order selection
... We saw in the previous section that the behavior of the expectations of PE(q) and S 2 ( q ) is (approximately) independent of the true process order if q is greater than or equal to the true process order. The simplest ...
