On Proxy Variables and Categorical Data Fusion
The problem of inference about the joint distribution of two categorical variables based on knowledge or observations of their marginal distributions, to be referred to as categorical data fusion in this paper, is relevant in statistical matching, ecological inference, market research, and several other related fields. This article organizes the use of proxy variables, to be distinguished from ...
متن کاملMatching on Proxy Variables
The method of matching critically relies on the assumption of conditional independence. When the conditioning variables are mismeasured, conditional independence does not hold for matching on measured variables, and matching estimators are biased. With multiple measurements on the mismeasured variables, average treatment e ects can be partially or fully identi ed using factor models, depending ...
متن کاملOn the uncertainty and techniques of categorical data fusion
Statistical matching (or data fusion) has long been used to merge separate data files in order to generate a joint fusion data set. Since the target joint data are not observable, it is recognized that, in addition to sampling variations that exist in the separate data files, there is an identification uncertainty associated with the assumptions that underpin the fusion procedure. In this paper...
متن کاملCategorical Variables in Dea
If a DEA model has a mix of categorical and continuous variables a standard LP formulation can still be used by entering all combinations of categorical and continuous variables as different types of inputs and/or outputs. Most units will then not have positive levels of all variables. The implications for selection of peers are investigated. Peers can have the same or fewer types of inputs tha...
متن کاملDependent Categorical Variables 1 Running head: DEPENDENT CATEGORICAL VARIABLES Multiple Unordered Categorical Dependent Variables in Organizational Research
A model for analyzing multiple categorical dependent variables is presented and developed for use in organizational research. A primary example occurs in the foreign market entry literature, where choice of ownership (majority, equal, or minority) and “function” (acquisition or joint venture) are simultaneously endogenous; only separate univariate ownership-based and function-based choice model...
