Pre and post break parameter inference
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses inference about the pre and post break value of a scalar parameter in GMM time series models with a single break at an unknown point in time. We show that treating the break date estimated by least squares as the true break date leads to substantially oversized tests and confidence intervals unless the break is large. We develop an alternative test that controls size uniformly and that is approximately efficient in some well defined sense. JEL Classification: C32, C12

Evaluation the early effects of single high dose radioiodine therapy on lacrimal gland function
Background: The therapeutic administration of 131I for thyroid remnant ablation and for metastases comes up with some adverse effects. This study was conducted to investigate whether single high dose radioiodine therapy affects lacrimal gland functions or not. Materials and Methods: Seventy-eight eyes of 39 patients, who were diagnosed as differentiated thyroid carcinoma, were objectively teste...

متن کاملNearly Optimal Tests when a Nuisance Parameter is Present Under the Null Hypothesis∗
This paper considers nonstandard hypothesis testing problems that involve a nuisance parameter. We establish an upper bound on the weighted average power of all valid tests, and develop a numerical algorithm that determines a feasible test with power close to the bound. The approach is illustrated in six applications: inference about a linear regression coefficient when the sign of a control co...
متن کاملClassical and Bayesian Inference in Two Parameter Exponential Distribution with Randomly Censored Data
Abstract. This paper deals with the classical and Bayesian estimation for two parameter exponential distribution having scale and location parameters with randomly censored data. The censoring time is also assumed to follow a two parameter exponential distribution with different scale but same location parameter. The main stress is on the location parameter in this paper. This parameter has not...
متن کاملEstimation and Inference in Unstable Nonlinear Least Squares Models
In this paper, we extend Bai and Perron’s (1998, Econometrica, pp. 47-78) method for detecting multiple breaks to nonlinear models. To that end, we consider an unstable univariate nonlinear least squares (NLS) model with a limited number of parameter shifts occurring at unknown dates. In our framework, the break-dates are simultaneously estimated with the parameters via minimization of the resi...
