Download or read book Fundamental Statistical Inference written by Marc S. Paolella and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hands-on approach to statistical inference that addresses the latest developments in this ever-growing field This clear and accessible book for beginning graduate students offers a practical and detailed approach to the field of statistical inference, providing complete derivations of results, discussions, and MATLAB programs for computation. It emphasizes details of the relevance of the material, intuition, and discussions with a view towards very modern statistical inference. In addition to classic subjects associated with mathematical statistics, topics include an intuitive presentation of the (single and double) bootstrap for confidence interval calculations, shrinkage estimation, tail (maximal moment) estimation, and a variety of methods of point estimation besides maximum likelihood, including use of characteristic functions, and indirect inference. Practical examples of all methods are given. Estimation issues associated with the discrete mixtures of normal distribution, and their solutions, are developed in detail. Much emphasis throughout is on non-Gaussian distributions, including details on working with the stable Paretian distribution and fast calculation of the noncentral Student's t. An entire chapter is dedicated to optimization, including development of Hessian-based methods, as well as heuristic/genetic algorithms that do not require continuity, with MATLAB codes provided. The book includes both theory and nontechnical discussions, along with a substantial reference to the literature, with an emphasis on alternative, more modern approaches. The recent literature on the misuse of hypothesis testing and p-values for model selection is discussed, and emphasis is given to alternative model selection methods, though hypothesis testing of distributional assumptions is covered in detail, notably for the normal distribution. Presented in three parts—Essential Concepts in Statistics; Further Fundamental Concepts in Statistics; and Additional Topics—Fundamental Statistical Inference: A Computational Approach offers comprehensive chapters on: Introducing Point and Interval Estimation; Goodness of Fit and Hypothesis Testing; Likelihood; Numerical Optimization; Methods of Point Estimation; Q-Q Plots and Distribution Testing; Unbiased Point Estimation and Bias Reduction; Analytic Interval Estimation; Inference in a Heavy-Tailed Context; The Method of Indirect Inference; and, as an appendix, A Review of Fundamental Concepts in Probability Theory, the latter to keep the book self-contained, and giving material on some advanced subjects such as saddlepoint approximations, expected shortfall in finance, calculation with the stable Paretian distribution, and convergence theorems and proofs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced Textbooks in Economics, Volume 7: Foundations of Econometrics focuses on the principles, processes, methodologies, and approaches involved in the study of econometrics. The publication examines matrix theory and multivariate statistical analysis. Discussions focus on the maximum likelihood estimation of multivariate normal distribution parameters, point estimation theory, multivariate normal distribution, multivariate probability distributions, Euclidean spaces and linear transformations, orthogonal transformations and symmetric matrices, and determinants. The manuscript then ponders on linear expected value models and simultaneous equation estimation. Topics include random exogenous variables, maximum likelihood estimation of a single equation, identification of a single equation, linear stochastic difference equations, and errors-in-variables models. The book takes a look at a prolegomenon to econometric model building, tests of hypotheses in econometric models, multivariate statistical analysis, and simultaneous equation estimation. Concerns include maximum likelihood estimation of a single equation, tests of linear hypotheses, testing for independence, and causality in economic models. The publication is a valuable source of data for economists and researchers interested in the foundations of econometrics.

Download or read book Notes on Basic Concepts for Initiation in ECONOMETRICS written by Cesar Gallo and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-06-17 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a set of notes about basic concepts to introduce Econometrics. It is not a textbook on Econometrics. The objective is to offer a shorter and easier way to learn the basic concepts by using mainly matrix methods that provide the student with a global vision of what this discipline is about and its usefulness in economic research. To achive this objective the emphasis is placed on understanding the concepts. These notes can be useful to both undergraduate students and graduate students, who are going to study subjects related to this discipline for the first time. However, it is necessary to emphasize that students must have basic knowledge of differential calculus, in particular optimization, along with matrix algebra, and statistics. These concepts are not discussed in this book. The notes are presented in four chapters. The first one offers an introduction with basic definitions and a general presentation of different types of models. In the second chapter, the classical linear regression model is introduced by applying a matrix approach. Assumptions are discussed in detail and the least-squares estimation method is also developed. The third chapter provides a brief introduction to dynamic models and time series. The last chapter deals with the evaluation of the econometric model which is explained in two parts. The first one addresses the problems of model specification, while the second one deals with the violation of the assumptions about disturbances.
Download or read book Foundations Of Modern Econometrics A Unified Approach written by Yongmiao Hong and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern economies are full of uncertainties and risk. Economics studies resource allocations in an uncertain market environment. As a generally applicable quantitative analytic tool for uncertain events, probability and statistics have been playing an important role in economic research. Econometrics is statistical analysis of economic and financial data. In the past four decades or so, economics has witnessed a so-called 'empirical revolution' in its research paradigm, and as the main methodology in empirical studies in economics, econometrics has been playing an important role. It has become an indispensable part of training in modern economics, business and management.This book develops a coherent set of econometric theory, methods and tools for economic models. It is written as a textbook for graduate students in economics, business, management, statistics, applied mathematics, and related fields. It can also be used as a reference book on econometric theory by scholars who may be interested in both theoretical and applied econometrics.
Download or read book A Primer in Econometric Theory written by John Stachurski and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A concise treatment of modern econometrics and statistics, including underlying ideas from linear algebra, probability theory, and computer programming. This book offers a cogent and concise treatment of econometric theory and methods along with the underlying ideas from statistics, probability theory, and linear algebra. It emphasizes foundations and general principles, but also features many solved exercises, worked examples, and code listings. After mastering the material presented, readers will be ready to take on more advanced work in different areas of quantitative economics and to understand papers from the econometrics literature. The book can be used in graduate-level courses on foundational aspects of econometrics or on fundamental statistical principles. It will also be a valuable reference for independent study. One distinctive aspect of the text is its integration of traditional topics from statistics and econometrics with modern ideas from data science and machine learning; readers will encounter ideas that are driving the current development of statistics and increasingly filtering into econometric methodology. The text treats programming not only as a way to work with data but also as a technique for building intuition via simulation. Many proofs are followed by a simulation that shows the theory in action. As a primer, the book offers readers an entry point into the field, allowing them to see econometrics as a whole rather than as a profusion of apparently unrelated ideas.
