Stable graphical model estimation with Random Forests for discrete, continuous, and mixed variables

Fellinghauer, Bernd; Bühlmann, Peter; Ryffel, Martin; … - In: Computational Statistics & Data Analysis 64 (2013) C, pp. 132-152

Random Forests in combination with Stability Selection allow to estimate stable conditional independence graphs with an error control mechanism for false positive selection. This approach is applicable to graphs containing both continuous and discrete variables at the same time. Its performance...

Estimating dynamic causal effects with unobserved confounders: a latent class version of the inverse probability weighted estimator

Bartolucci, Francesco; Grilli, Leonardo; Pieroni, Luca - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2012

We consider estimation of the causal effect of a sequential binary treatment (typically corresponding to a policy or a subsidy in the economic context) on a final outcome, when the treatment assignment at a given occasion depends on the sequence of previous assignments as well as on time-varying...

The subprime mortgage crisis : asset securitization and interbank lending / M.P. Mulaudzi

Mulaudzi, Mmboniseni Phanuel - 2009

Treasuries. This issue is discussed in a discrete-time framework with IB being considered to be regret- and risk-averse before … and during the SMC, respectively. We conclude that if IB takes regret into account it will be exposed to higher risk when … risk exposure when this difference is high. Furthermore, we assess how regret can influence IB's view - as a swap …

An Economic Assessment of Parents' Self-Composure: The Case of Physical Child Abuse

Agee, Mark; Crocker, Thomas; Shogren, Jason - In: Topics in Economic Analysis & Policy 4 (2004) 1, pp. 1161-1161

This paper uses a maximum likelihood procedure that accounts for unobserved heterogeneity in the sample to implement a preference-based model to assess factors that influence parents' likelihood of losing their composure and physically abusing their children. A basic supposition of the model is...

Experimental Evidence for Attractions to Chance

Albers, Wulf; Pope, Robin; Selten, Reinhard; Vogt, Bodo - University of Bonn, Germany - 1999

Divide the decisionmaker's future into: (i) a pre-outcome period (lasting from the decision until the outcome of that decision is known), and (ii) a sequel post-outcome period (beginning when the outcome becomes known). Anticipated emotions in both periods may influence the decision, in...
