Model Estimation and Analysis: Robust, Semiparametric and Nonparametric Estimation

Robust covariance matrix estimators

  • Bootstrapping standard errors for any estimator
  • White and heteroscedasticity corrected estimators
  • Newey-West estimators
  • Choice based sampling discrete choice estimators
  • Cluster based asymptotic covariance matrices
  • Jackknife estimators of standard errors for any estimator

Robust estimators

  • GMM estimation for user specified models
  • Kernel density estimation
  • Spectral density estimation
  • Random parameters models
  • Kernel weights for estimation

Non- and semiparametric estimators

  • Least absolute deviations linear regression
  • Maximum score for binary choice
  • Klein and Spady estimator for binary choice
  • Nonparametric, kernel density regression

Robust tests

  • Rank correlation
  • Coefficient of concordance
  • CUSUM test
  • Kolmogorov-Smirnov
  • Normality test - chi-squared
  • Box-Pierce and Box-Ljung

Stratified data

  • ‘Cluster’ corrections
  • Stratification and clustering
  • Finite population weights
