Instrumental Variable Quantile Regression * †
Quantile regression is an increasingly important tool that estimates the conditional quantiles of a response Y given a vector of regressors D. It usefully generalizes Laplace’s median regression and can be used to measure the effect of covariates not only in the center of a distribution, but also in the upper and lower tails. For the linear quantile model defined by Y = D′γ(U) where D′γ(U) is s...
متن کاملDoubly Robust Instrumental Variable Regression
Instrumental variable (IV) estimation typically requires the user to correctly specify the relationship between the regressors and the outcome to obtain a consistent estimate of the effects of the treatments. This paper proposes doubly robust IV regression estimators that only require the user to either correctly specify the relationship between the measured confounding variables (i.e., include...
متن کاملOracle Inequality for Instrumental Variable Regression
where φ is the parameter of interest which models the relationship while U is an error term. Contrary to usual statistical regression models, the error term is correlated with the explanatory variables X, hence E(U |X) 6= 0, preventing direct estimation of φ. To overcome the endogeneity of X, we assume that there exists an observed random variable W , called the instrument, which decorrelates t...
متن کاملWho Invented Dirac’s Delta Function?
The Dirac delta function has solid roots in 19th century work in Fourier analysis by Cauchy and others, anticipating Dirac’s discovery by over a century.
متن کاملThe Man Who Invented Music
We all know Pythagoras did quite a lot for high school mathematics; most of us are aware that his "Theorem" is also the basis for trigonometry, and trigonometry is the theoretical background to that most fundamental of sound waves, the sine wave. But that is not even scratching the surface of the work of the Pythagorean School. The man himself, and his own ideas, are only known to us through th...
