Estimation of Productivity in Korean Electric Power Plants: A Semiparametric Smooth Coefficient Model
Estimation of Productivity in Korean Electric Power Plants: A Semiparametric Smooth Coefficient Model This paper analyzes the impact of load factor, facility and generator types on the productivity of Korean electric power plants. In order to capture important differences in the effect of load policy on power output, we use a semiparametric smooth coefficient (SPSC) model that allows us to mode...
متن کاملDose-response curve estimation: a semiparametric mixture approach.
In the estimation of a dose-response curve, parametric models are straightforward and efficient but subject to model misspecifications; nonparametric methods are robust but less efficient. As a compromise, we propose a semiparametric approach that combines the advantages of parametric and nonparametric curve estimates. In a mixture form, our estimator takes a weighted average of the parametric ...
متن کاملSemiparametric Tail Index Estimation: A Density Quantile Approach
Heavy tail probability distributions are important in many scientific disciplines, such as hydrology, geology, and physics among others. To this end many heavy tail distributions are commonly used in practice. In order to determine an appropriate family of distributions for a specified application it is useful to classify the probability law via its tail behavior. Through the use of Parzen’s de...
متن کاملA semiparametric Bayesian approach to extreme value estimation
This paper is concerned with extreme value density estimation. The generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) beyond a given threshold is combined with a nonparametric estimation approach below the threshold. This semiparametric setup is shown to generalize a few existing approaches and enables density estimation over the complete sample space. Estimation is performed via the Bayesian paradigm, whic...
متن کاملA general semiparametric Z-estimation approach for case-cohort studies.
Case-cohort design, an outcome-dependent sampling design for censored survival data, is increasingly used in biomedical research. The development of asymptotic theory for a case-cohort design in the current literature primarily relies on counting process stochastic integrals. Such an approach, however, is rather limited and lacks theoretical justification for outcome-dependent weighted methods ...
