Appendix A5: Simulated maximum likelihood estimation of the trivariate probit model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Calculation of Multivariate Normal Probabilities by Simulation, with Applications to Maximum Simulated Likelihood Estimation We discuss methods for calculating multivariate normal probabilities by simulation and two new Stata programs for this purpose: -mdrawsfor deriving draws from the standard uniform density using either Halton or pseudo-random sequences, and an egen function -mvnp()for calculating the probabilities themselves. Several illustrations show how the programs may be used for maximum simulated likelihood estimation. JEL Classification: C15, C51, C87

Multivariate probit regression using simulated maximum likelihood
We discuss the application of the GHK simulation method for maximum likelihood estimation of the multivariate probit regression model and describe and illustrate a Stata program mvprobit for this purpose.
متن کاملConvenient estimators for the panel probit model:
Bertschek and Lechner (1998) propose several variants of a GMM estimator based on the period specific regression functions for the panel probit model. The analysis is motivated by the complexity of maximum likelihood estimation and the possibly excessive amount of time involved in maximum simulated likelihood estimation. But, for applications of the size considered in their study, full likeliho...

متن کاملMaximum Simulated Likelihood Estimation of Random Effects Dynamic Probit Models with Autocorrelated Errors
This paper investigates the use of Maximum Simulated Likelihood estimation for random effects dynamic probit models with autocorrelated errors. It presents a new Stata command, redpace, for this estimator and illustrates its usage. The paper also compares the use of pseudo-random numbers and Halton sequences of quasi-random numbers for the MSL estimation of these models.
متن کاملParameter Estimation of Geographically Weighted Trivariate Weibull Regression Model
In this study, Geographically Weighted Trivariate Weibull Regression (GWTWR) model and parameter estimation procedure are proposed. GWTWR is trivariate Weibull regression model which all of the regression parameters depend on the geographical location, and parameter estimation is done locally at each location in the study area. The location is expressed as a point coordinate in two-dimensional ...
