Gmm and Empirical Likelihood with Incomplete Data
In applied work economists often encounter data generating mechanisms that produce censored or truncated observations. These dgp’s induce a probability distribution on the realized observations that differs from the underlying distribution for which inference is to be made. If this dichotomy between the target and realized populations is not taken into account, statistical inference can be seve...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy Density Estimation with Incomplete Data
We propose a natural generalization of Regularized Maximum Entropy Density Estimation (maxent) to handle input data with unknown values. While standard approaches to handling missing data usually involve estimating the actual unknown values, then using the estimated, complete data as input, our method avoids the two-step process and handles unknown values directly in the maximum entropy formula...
متن کاملGMM Estimation of Autoregressive Roots Near Unity with Panel Data
This paper investigates a generalized method of moments (GMM) approach to the estimation of autoregressive roots near unity with panel data and incidental deterministic trends. Such models arise in empirical econometric studies of Þrm size and in dynamic panel data modeling with weak instruments. The two moment conditions in the GMM approach are obtained by constructing bias corrections to the ...
متن کاملSoftware Cost Estimation with Incomplete Data
The construction of software cost estimation models remains an active topic of research. The basic premise of cost modelling is that a historical database of software project cost data can be used to develop a quantitative model to predict the cost of future projects. One of the difficulties faced by workers in this area is that many of these historical databases contain substantial amounts of ...
متن کاملGMM estimation of a maximum entropy distribution with interval data
We develop a generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator for the distribution of a variable where summary statistics are available only for intervals of the random variable. Without individual data, one cannot calculate the weighting matrix for the GMM estimator. Instead, we propose a simulated weighting matrix based on a first-step consistent estimate. When the functional form of the underly...
