Causal effect estimation in sequencing studies: a Bayesian method to account for confounder adjustment uncertainty
Estimating the causal effect of a single nucleotide variant (SNV) on clinical phenotypes is of interest in many genetic studies. The effect estimation may be confounded by other SNVs as a result of linkage disequilibrium as well as demographic and clinical characteristics. Because a large number of these other variables, which we call potential confounders, are collected, it is challenging to s...
متن کاملEfficiency Bounds for Semiparametric Estimation of Quantile Regression under Misspecification
Allowing for misspecification in the linear conditional quantile function (CQF), we calculate the semiparametric efficiency bound for the solution to the population quantile regression (QR) problem or the best linear predictor for a response variable under the asymmetric check loss function. The pseudo-true QR parameter that solves a non-differentiable unconditional moment restriction is interp...
متن کاملEstimation and Model Selection of Semiparametric Copula-Based Multivariate Dynamic Models Under Copula Misspecification∗
Recently Chen and Fan (2003a) introduced a new class of semiparametric copula-based multivariate dynamic (SCOMDY) models. A SCOMDY model specifies the conditional mean and the conditional variance of a multivariate time series parametrically (such as VAR, GARCH), but specifies the multivariate distribution of the standardized innovation semiparametrically as a parametric copula evaluated at non...
متن کاملMean Square Error bounds for parameter estimation under model misspecification
In parameter estimation, assumptions about the model are typically considered which allow us to build optimal estimation methods under many statistical senses. However, it is usually the case where such models are inaccurately known or not capturing the complexity of the observed phenomenon. A natural question arises to whether we can find fundamental estimation bounds under model mismatches. T...
متن کاملConsistent model and moment selection procedures for GMM estimation with application to dynamic panel data models
This paper develops consistent model and moment selection criteria for GMM estimation. The criteria select the correct model speci"cation and all correct moment conditions asymptotically. The selection criteria resemble the widely used likelihoodbased selection criteria BIC, HQIC, and AIC. (The latter is not consistent.) The GMM selection criteria are based on the J statistic for testing over-i...
