Bayesian Nonparametric and Parametric Inference
This paper reviews Bayesian Nonparametric methods and discusses how parametric predictive densities can be constructed using nonparametric ideas.
متن کاملComputing Economies of Scope Using Robust Partial Frontier Nonparametric Methods
This paper proposes a methodology to examine economies of scope using the recent order-α nonparametric method. It allows us to investigate economies of scope by comparing the efficient order-α frontiers of firms that produce two or more goods with the efficient order-α frontiers of firms that produce only one good. To accomplish this, and because the order-α frontiers are irregular, we suggest ...
متن کاملBayesian Nonparametric Modeling for Causal Inference
Researchers have long struggled to identify causal effects in non-experimental settings. Many recently-proposed strategies assume ignorability of the treatment assignment mechanism and require fitting two models – one for the assignment mechanism and one for the response surface. We propose a strategy that instead focuses on very flexibly modeling just the response surface using a Bayesian nonp...
متن کاملInference in Nonparametric Instrumental Variables with Partial Identification
This paper develops methods for hypothesis testing in a nonparametric instrumental variables (IV) setting within a partial identification framework. I construct and derive the asymptotic distribution of a test statistic for the hypothesis that at least one element of the identified set satisfies a conjectured restriction. This procedure can be used to test for features of the model that may be ...
متن کاملInference by the m out of n Bootstrap in Nonparametric Frontier Models
It is well-known that the naive bootstrap yields inconsistent inference in the context of data envelopment analysis (DEA) or free disposal hull (FDH) estimators in nonparametric frontier models. For inference about efficiency of a single, fixed point, drawing bootstrap pseudo-samples of size m < n provides consistent inference, although coverages are quite sensitive to the choice of subsample s...
