Causal Inference with Two-Stage Logistic Regression - Accuracy, Precision, and Application
Cai, Bing - 2010
2SPS and 2SRI for logistic binary outcomes have not been thoroughly studied. We study the bias and variance properties … trial. We first present closed form expressions of asymptotic bias for the causal odds ratio from both 2SPS and 2SRI … approaches. Our closed form bias results show that the 2SPS logistic regression generates asymptotically biased estimates of this …

Choke price bias in choice experiments
Morkbak, Morten Raun; Christensen, Tove; Gyrd-Hansen, Dorte - 2010
This paper reports on the results from a split sample choice experiment, where the effect of changing the maximum level of the cost attribute is investigated. The hypothesis was that changing the maximum price level would either give rise to an income effect or have no effect on consumers'...

Adaptive Inference for Multi-Stage Survey Data
Al-Zou'bi, L. M.; Clark, Robert Graham; Steel, D. G. - 2009
Two-stage sampling usually leads to higher variances for estimators of means and regression coefficients, because of intra-cluster homogeneity. One way of allowing for clustering in fitting a linear regression model is to use a linear mixed model with two levels. If the estimated intra-cluster...

Robustness in Latent Variable Models
Huang, Xianzheng - 2006
Statistical models involving latent variables are widely used in many areas of applications, such as biomedical science and social science. When likelihood-based parametric inferential methods are used to make statistical inference, certain distributional assumptions on the latent variables are...
