Judging Mcmc Estimators by Their Asymptotic Variance
The expectation of a function can be estimated by the empirical estimator based on the output of a Markov chain Monte Carlo method. We review results on the asymp-totic variance of the empirical estimator, and on improving the estimator by exploiting knowledge of the underlying distribution or of the transition distribution of the Markov chain.
متن کاملConsistency of Semiparametric Maximum Likelihood Estimators for Two-Phase Sampling
Semiparametric maximum likelihood estimators have recently been proposed for a class of two-phase, outcome-dependent sampling models. All of them were "restricted" maximum likelihood estimators, in the sense that the maximization is carried out only over distributions concentrated on the observed values of the covariate vectors. In this paper, the authors give conditions for consistency of thes...
متن کاملThe Asymptotic Variance of Semi-parametric Estimators with Generated Regressors
We study the asymptotic distribution of three-step estimators of a nite dimensional parameter vector where the second step consists of one or more nonparametric regressions on a regressor that is estimated in the rst step. The rst step estimator is either parametric or non-parametric. Using Neweys (1994) path-derivative method we derive the contribution of the rst step estimator to the in...
متن کاملAsymptotic Variance of Passage Time Estimators in Markov Chains
We consider the problem of estimating passage times in stochastic simulations of Markov chains+ Two types of estimator are considered for this purpose: the “simple” and the “overlapping” estimator; they are compared in terms of their asymptotic variance+ The analysis is based on the regenerative structure of the process and it is shown that when estimating the mean passage time, the simple esti...
متن کاملEstimating the Asymptotic Variance of Closed Loop Subspace Estimators
Subspace identification for closed loop systems has been recently studied by several authors. Recent results are available which express the asymptotic variance of the estimated parameters (and hence of any system invariant) as a function of the “true” underlying system parameters and of certain conditional covariance matrices. When it comes to using these formulas in practice one is faced with...
