متن کاملEfficient Minimum Distance Estimation with Multiple Rates of Convergence
This paper extends the asymptotic theory of GMM inference to allow sample counterparts of the estimating equations to converge at (multiple) rates, different from the usual square-root of the sample size. In this setting, we provide consistent estimation of the structural parameters. In addition, we define a convenient rotation in the parameter space (or reparametrization) which permits to dise...

متن کاملSieve Estimators : Consistency and Rates of Convergence
The first term is the estimation error and measures the performance of the discrimination rule with respect to the best hypothesis in H. In previous lectures, we studied performance guarantees for this quantity when ĥn is ERM. Now, we also consider the approximation error, which captures how well a class of hypotheses {Hk} approximates the Bayes decision boundary. For example, consider the hist...
متن کاملSelecting tuning parameters in minimum distance estimators
Many minimum distance estimators have the potential to provide parameter estimates which are both robust and efficient and yet, despite these highly desirable theoretical properties, they are rarely used in practice. This is because the performance of these estimators is rarely guaranteed per se but obtained by placing a suitable value on some tuning parameter. Hence there is a risk involved in...
