Copula regression spline models for binary outcomes
We introduce a framework for estimating the effect that a binary treatment has on a binary outcome in the presence of unobserved confounding. The methodology is applied to a case study which uses data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey and whose aim is to estimate the effect of private health insurance on health care utilization. Unobserved confounding arises when variables which are ass...
متن کاملEstimation of a regression spline sample selection model
It is often the case that an outcome of interest is observed for a restricted non-randomly selected sample of the population. In such a situation, standard statistical analysis yields biased results. This issue can be addressed using sample selection models which are based on the estimation of two regressions: a binary selection equation determining whether a particular statistical unitwill be ...
متن کاملCopula Regression Spline Models for Binary Outcomes With Application in Health Care Utilization∗
We introduce a framework for estimating the effect that a binary treatment has on a binary outcome in the presence of unobserved and residual confounding, and of non-linear dependence between treatment and outcome. The method is applied to a case study which uses data from the 2008 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey and whose aim is to estimate the effect of private health insurance on health car...
متن کاملFrom Finite Sample to Asymptotics: a Geometric Bridge for Selection Criteria in Spline Regression
This paper studies, under the setting of spline regression, the connection between finite-sample properties of selection criteria and their asymptotic counterparts, focusing on bridging the gap between the two. We introduce a bias-variance decomposition of the prediction error, using which it is shown that in the asymptotics the bias term dominates the variability term, providing an explanation...
متن کاملModel Selection for Mixture Models Using Perfect Sample
We have considered a perfect sample method for model selection of finite mixture models with either known (fixed) or unknown number of components which can be applied in the most general setting with assumptions on the relation between the rival models and the true distribution. It is, both, one or neither to be well-specified or mis-specified, they may be nested or non-nested. We consider mixt...
