Bias-corrected estimators of scalar skew normal
One problem of skew normal model is the difficulty in estimating the shape parameter, for which the maximum likelihood estimate may be infinite when sample size is moderate. The existing estimators suffer from large bias even for moderate size samples. In this paper, we proposed five estimators of the shape parameter for a scalar skew normal model, either by bias correction method or by solving...
متن کاملComparison at Optimal Levels of Classical Tail Index Estimators: a Challenge for Reduced-bias Estimation?∗
In this article, we begin with an asymptotic comparison at optimal levels of the so-called “maximum likelihood” (ML) extreme value index estimator, based on the excesses over a high random threshold, denoted PORT-ML, with PORT standing for peaks over random thresholds, with a similar ML estimator, denoted PORT-MP, with MP standing for modified-Pareto. The PORT-MP estimator is based on the same ...
متن کاملBias-Corrected Matching Estimators for Average Treatment Effects
In Abadie and Imbens (2006), it was shown that simple nearest-neighbor matching estimators include a conditional bias term that converges to zero at a rate that may be slower than N1/2. As a result, matching estimators are not N1/2-consistent in general. In this article, we propose a bias correction that renders matching estimators N1/2-consistent and asymptotically normal. To demonstrate the m...
متن کاملBias-reduced Extreme Quantile Estimators of Weibull Tail-distributions
In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating an extreme quantile of a Weibull tail-distribution. The new extreme quantile estimator has a reduced bias compared to the more classical ones proposed in the literature. It is based on an exponential regression model that was introduced in Diebolt et al. (2008). The asymptotic normality of the extreme quantile estimator is established. We als...
