Grouped Model Averaging for Finite Sample Size

چکیده
Abstract: This paper studies grouped model averaging methods for finite sample size situation. Sufficient conditions under which the grouped model averaging estimator dominates the ordinary least squares estimator are provided. A class of grouped model averaging estimators, g-class, is introduced, and its dominance condition over the ordinary least squares is established. All theoretical findings are verified by simulation examples. We also apply the methods to the analysis of the grain output data of China.

Jackknife Model Averaging for Quantile Regressions
In this paper we consider the problem of frequentist model averaging for quantile regression (QR) when all the models under investigation are potentially misspecified and the number of parameters in some or all models is diverging with the sample size To allow for the dependence between the error terms and the regressors in the QR models, we propose a jackknife model averaging (JMA) estima...
متن کاملDiscretizing Unobserved Heterogeneity∗
We study panel data estimators based on a discretization of unobserved heterogeneity when individual heterogeneity is not necessarily discrete in the population. We focus on two-step grouped-fixed effects estimators, where individuals are classified into groups in a first step using kmeans clustering, and the model is estimated in a second step allowing for group-specific heterogeneity. We anal...

We study by extensive Monte Carlo simulations, the sample-to-sample fluctuation of various physical quantities in the critical region on ensembles of quenched Ising model on a small-world network. The system is found to be strongly self-averaging in the critical region in spite of relevant randomness. This is associated with the sharpening of the probability distribution of the inverse pseudo-c...
متن کاملSelf-Averaging, Distribution of Pseudo-Critical Temperatures and Finite Size Scaling in Critical Disordered Systems
We evaluate by Monte Carlo simulations various singular thermodynamic quantities X, for an ensemble of quenched random Ising and Ashkin-Teller models. The measurements are taken at Tc and we study how the distributions P (X) (and, in particular, their relative squared width, RX) over the ensemble depend on the system size l. The Ashkin-Teller model was studied in the regime where bond randomnes...
متن کاملPredicting waste generation using Bayesian model averaging
A prognosis model has been developed for solid waste generation from households in Hoi An City, a famous tourist city in Viet Nam. Waste sampling, followed by a questionnaire survey, was carried out to gather data. The Bayesian model average method was used to identify factors significantly associated with waste generation. Multivariate linear regression analysis was then applied to evaluate th...
