Distributions you can count on …but what's the point?
McCabe, Brendan Peter Martin; Skeels, Christopher L. - In: Econometrics 8 (2020) 1, pp. 1-36
The Poisson regression model remains an important tool in the econometric analysis of count data. In a pioneering contribution to the econometric analysis of such models, Lung-Fei Lee presented a specification test for a Poisson model against a broad class of discrete distributions sometimes...

Migration and pollution
Jha, Raghbendra; Whalley, John - 2003
endogenously determined. Interpreting unemployment as damage, urban pollution (damage denoted in units of labour) can also support … the same equilibrium with the value of damage equal to the value of resources otherwise lost through unemployment. However …, if the damage function implies an uninternalized externality (due to urban congestion, for instance), an internalization …

The Core of Pure Economic Loss
Dari-Mattiacci, Guiseppe; Schäfer, Hans-Bernd - 2006
Should loss of earnings be compensated? The established law and economics wisdom considers pure economic loss as a transfer of wealth from the victim to a third party, whose earnings increase as a consequence of the accident. Such transfers do not amount to a social loss and, hence, should not...

Beta-boosted ensemble for big credit scoring data
Zieba, Maciej; Härdle, Wolfgang Karl - 2016
In this work we present a novel ensemble model for a credit scoring problem. The main idea of the approach is to incorporate separate beta binomial distributions for each of the classes to generate balanced datasets that are further used to construct base learners that constitute the final...

Project management under uncertainty beyond beta: The generalized bicubic distribution
García Peréz, José Ignacio; Martín, María del Mar … - In: Operations Research Perspectives 3 (2016), pp. 67-76
The beta distribution has traditionally been employed in the PERT methodology and generally used for modeling bounded continuous random variables based on expert's judgment. The impossibility of estimating four parameters from the three values provided by the expert when the beta distribution is...

Betit: A Family That Nests Probit and Logit
Vijverberg, Wim P. M. - 2000
This paper proposes a dichotomous choice model that is based on a transformed beta (or "z") distribution. This model, called betit, nests both logit and probit and allows for various skewed and peaked disturbance densities. Because the shape of this density affects the estimated relation between...
