Download or read book Maximum Likelihood Estimation written by Scott R. Eliason and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1993 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a short introduction to Maximum Likelihood (ML) Estimation. It provides a general modeling framework that utilizes the tools of ML methods to outline a flexible modeling strategy that accommodates cases from the simplest linear models (such as the normal error regression model) to the most complex nonlinear models linking endogenous and exogenous variables with non-normal distributions. Using examples to illustrate the techniques of finding ML estimators and estimates, the author discusses what properties are desirable in an estimator, basic techniques for finding maximum likelihood solutions, the general form of the covariance matrix for ML estimates, the sampling distribution of ML estimators; the use of ML in the normal as well as other distributions, and some useful illustrations of likelihoods.

Book excerpt: Empirical likelihood provides inferences whose validity does not depend on specifying a parametric model for the data. Because it uses a likelihood, the method has certain inherent advantages over resampling methods: it uses the data to determine the shape of the confidence regions, and it makes it easy to combined data from multiple sources.

Download or read book Exact Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Observation driven Econometric Models written by Francis X. Diebold and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The possibility of exact maximum likelihood estimation of many observation-driven models remains an open question. Often only approximate maximum likelihood estimation is attempted, because the unconditional density needed for exact estimation is not known in closed form. Using simulation and nonparametric density estimation techniques that facilitate empirical likelihood evaluation, we develop an exact maximum likelihood procedure. We provide an illustrative application to the estimation of ARCH models, in which we compare the sampling properties of the exact estimator to those of several competitors. We find that, especially in situations of small samples and high persistence, efficiency gains are obtained. We conclude with a discussion of directions for future research, including application of our methods to panel data models.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I develop a structural econometric framework for first-price auctions by generalizing the assumption of Bayesian Nash Equilibrium within the context of a level-k behavioral model, which nests equilibrium by allowing bidders to hold heterogeneous beliefs about opponents' bidding strategies. While behavioral heterogeneity causes identification to fail under benchmark equilibrium conditions, independence and exclusion restrictions recover identification of the joint distribution over valuations and bidder-types in heterogeneous populations. Establishing consistent maximum likelihood sieve estimation with an upper semicontinuous population log-likelihood function leads to a natural semi-nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator based on Legendre polynomials. The level-k model introduces a mixture structure to the estimation problem, requiring a generalized expectation maximization algorithm. Presenting evidence from a pilot study of vintage computer auctions, I find a high level of bidder sophistication in the field. To further apply the econometric framework, I characterize expected revenues in first price auctions with level-k bidders, establishing a partial identification result for expected revenues in unidentified models. An empirical analysis of USFS timber auctions finds that a misspecified equilibrium optimal reserve price could reduce expected revenues up to 30% relative to an unbinding reserve price.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent developments in empirical likelihood (EL) methods are reviewed. First, to put the method in perspective, two interpretations of empirical likelihood are presented, one as a nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation method (NPMLE) and the other as a generalized minimum contrast estimator (GMC). The latter interpretation provides a clear connection between EL, GMM, GEL and other related estimators. Second, EL is shown to have various advantages over other methods. The theory of large deviations demonstrates that EL emerges naturally in achieving asymptotic optimality both for estimation and testing. Interestingly, higher order asymptotic analysis also suggests that EL is generally a preferred method. Third, extensions of EL are discussed in various settings, including estimation of conditional moment restriction models, nonparametric specification testing and time series models. Finally, practical issues in applying EL to real data, such as computational algorithms for EL, are discussed. Numerical examples to illustrate the efficacy of the method are presented.

Book excerpt: As conceived by the founders of the Econometric Society, econometrics is a field that uses economic theory and statistical methods to address empirical problems in economics. It is a tool for empirical discovery and policy analysis. The chapters in this volume embody this vision and either implement it directly or provide the tools for doing so. This vision is not shared by those who view econometrics as a branch of statistics rather than as a distinct field of knowledge that designs methods of inference from data based on models of human choice ...
