Davidson, Russell - 1990

The issue of the non-invariance of the Wald test under nonlinear reparametrisations of the restrictions under test is studied from a differential geometric viewpoint. Quantities that can be defined in purely geometrical terms are by construction invariant under reparametrisation, and various...

The sorted effects method: Discovering heterogeneous effects beyond their averages

Chernozhuko, Victor; Fernandez-Val, Ivan; Luo, Ye - 2015

The partial (ceteris paribus) effects of interest in nonlinear and interactive linear models are heterogeneous as they can vary dramatically with the underlying observed or unobserved covariates. Despite the apparent importance of heterogeneity, a common practice in modern empirical work is to...

Geometry of the log-likelihood ratio statistic in misspecified models

Choi, Hwan-sik; Kiefer, Nicholas M. - 2009

We show that the asymptotic mean of the log-likelihood ratio in a misspecified model is a differential geometric quantity that is related to the exponential curvature of Efron (1978), Amari (1982), and the preferred point geometry of Critchley et al. (1993, 1994). The mean is invariant with...

Measures for the structure of clustering and admissibilities of its algorithm

Takeuchi, Akinobu; Yadohisa, Hiroshi; Inada, Koichi - 2001

The problem of selecting a clustering algorithm from the myriad of algorithms has been discussed in recent years. Many researchers have attacked this problem by using the concept of admissibility (e.g. Fisher and Van Ness, 1971, Yadohisa, et al., 1999). We propose a new criterion called the...
