Using Bootstrapped Confidence Intervals for Improved Inferences with Seemingly Unrelated Regression Equations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The usual standard errors for the regression coe cients in a Seemingly Unrelated Regression model have a substantial downward bias. Bootstrapping the standard errors does not seem to improve inferences. In this paper Monte Carlo evidence is reported which indicates that bootstrapping can result in substantially better inferences when applied to t-ratios rather than to standard errors. 3

Biomass equations for shrub species of Tamaulipan thornscrub of North-eastern Mexico
Nine additive allometric equations for computing above-ground, standing biomass were developed for the plant community and for each of 18 single species typical of the Tamaulipan thornscrub of north-eastern Mexico. Equations developed using additive procedures in seemingly unrelated linear regression provided statistical efficiency in total biomass estimates at the scales of both individual spe...
متن کاملPrediction from the Dynamic Simultaneous Equation Model with Vector Autoregressive Errors
IN THIS PAPER we derive the asymptotic distribution of multistep prediction from the general dynamic simultaneous equation model. The approach taken is a generalization of that of Schmidt [4] who considered a model with uncorrelated errors. It seems worthwhile to extend Schmidt's results, since the estimation of dynamic simultaneous equation models with autoregressive errors is now fairly commo...
متن کاملExperimental and environmental factors affect spurious detection of ecological thresholds.
Threshold detection methods are increasingly popular for assessing nonlinear responses to environmental change, but their statistical performance remains poorly understood. We simulated linear change in stream benthic macroinvertebrate communities and evaluated the performance of commonly used threshold detection methods based on model fitting (piecewise quantile regression [PQR]), data partiti...
متن کاملGraphical Presentation of a Nonparametric Regression with Bootstrapped Confidence Intervals
Parametric regression (least-squares) techniques are used to estimate a statistical model that attempts to predict a variable based on one, or more, other variables. The model is required to have a specified algebraic form such as a straight line, a parabola, or an exponential curve. An example would be predicting a persons annual income based on their age, years of schooling and gender using a...
متن کاملBootstrap Confidence Intervals Based on Inverting Hypothesis Tests
Most confidence intervals, whether based on asymptotic theory or the bootstrap, are implicitly based on inverting a Wald test. Since Wald test statistics are not invariant under nonlinear reparametrizations of the restrictions they test, confidence intervals based on them are not invariant either. This fact explains the well-known non invariance of bootstrap confidence intervals obtained by Hal...
