Information Theory Estimators for the First-Order Spatial Autoregressive Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Information theoretic estimators for the first-order spatial autoregressive model are introduced, small sample properties are investigated, and the estimator is applied empirically. Monte Carlo experiments are used to compare finite sample performance of more traditional spatial estimators to three different information theoretic estimators, including maximum empirical likelihood, maximum empirical exponential likelihood, and maximum log Euclidean likelihood. Information theoretic estimators are found to be robust to selected specifications of spatial autocorrelation and may dominate traditional estimators in the finite sample situations analyzed, except for the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator which competes reasonably well. The information theoretic estimators are illustrated via an application to hedonic housing pricing.

متن کاملModified Maximum Likelihood Estimation in First-Order Autoregressive Moving Average Models with some Non-Normal Residuals
When modeling time series data using autoregressive-moving average processes, it is a common practice to presume that the residuals are normally distributed. However, sometimes we encounter non-normal residuals and asymmetry of data marginal distribution. Despite widespread use of pure autoregressive processes for modeling non-normal time series, the autoregressive-moving average models have le...
متن کاملGeneralized Maximum Entropy Estimation of Spatial Autoregressive Models
We formulate generalized maximum entropy estimators for the general linear model and the censored regression model when there is first order spatial autoregression in the dependent variable and residuals. Monte Carlo experiments are provided to compare the performance of spatial entropy estimators in small and medium sized samples relative to classical estimators. Finally, the estimators are ap...
متن کاملStatistical Inference in Autoregressive Models with Non-negative Residuals
Normal residual is one of the usual assumptions of autoregressive models but in practice sometimes we are faced with non-negative residuals case. In this paper we consider some autoregressive models with non-negative residuals as competing models and we have derived the maximum likelihood estimators of parameters based on the modified approach and EM algorithm for the competing models. Also,...
متن کاملAsymptotic Properties of Three Alternative Estimators of Spatial Parameters
Parameters of Gaussian spatial models are often estimated using the maximum likelihood approach. In spite of its merits, this methodology is not practical for large data sets. We study the asymptotic properties of the estimators that minimize three alternatives to the likelihood function, which are meant to increase the computational efficiency. This is achieved by applying the information sand...
