A Bayesian Analysis of Unobserved Heterogeneity for Unemployment Duration Data in the Presence of Interval Censoring
Ganjali, Mojtaba; Baghfalaki, T.; Berridge, D. - In: International Econometric Review (IER) 6 (2014) 1, pp. 24-41
In this paper, we discuss Bayesian inference of unobserved heterogeneity for unemployment duration data in the presence of right and interval-censoring, and non-proportionality. We employ accelerated failure time models with three different distributional assumptions: log-logistic, log-normal,...
