Semi-Parametric Estimation in the Nonlinear Structural Errors-in-Variables Model

A Semi-parametric Estimation of a Structural Misclassification Model

This study extends the parametric estimation of the structural misclassification model (Arrieta, 2008) to analyze over-treatment of medical procedures to a semi-parametric estimation. The estimation is based on a doubleindex semi-parametric maximum likelihood with partial observability. The document shows that misspecification error due to an incorrect assumption about the error distribution ma...

Nonlinear Errors in Variables: Estimation of Some Engel Curves

Estimation of semi-parametric additive coefficient model

In the multivariate regression setting, we propose a flexible varying coefficient model in which the regression coefficients of some predictors are additive functions of other predictors. Marginal integration estimators of the coefficients are developed and their asymptotic properties investigated. Under -mixing, it is found that the estimators of the parameters in the regression coefficients h...

Semi-parametric estimation of the strategic goods (OPEC oil price)

In the global economy, crude oil is among the most important strategic goods that affects the performance of local and international markets. Prediction of the oil price has always been an important challenging topic in the global economy and producers and consumers have constantly been trying to improve their roll in the oil price changes and for many years OPEC has been one of the key players...
