L2-Boosting for Economic Applications
Luo, Ye; Spindler, Martin - 2017
In the recent years more and more highdimensional data sets, where the number of parameters p is high compared to the number of observations n or even larger, are available for applied researchers. Boosting algorithms represent one of the major advances in machine learning and statistics in...

The Effects of a Parenting Program on Maternal Well-Being: Evidence from a Randomized Controlled Trial
Camehl, Georg; Hahlweg, Kurt; Spieß, C. Katharina - 2018
This paper evaluates how the Triple P parenting program affects maternal well-being. We analyze data from a randomized controlled trial and a separate sample of mothers from a deprived neighborhood without a control group. For the latter, we generate a control group using SOEP survey data and...

Two-Stage Least Squares Random Forests with a Replication of Angrist and Evans (1998)
Kugler, Philipp; Biewen, Martin - 2020
We develop the case of two-stage least squares estimation (2SLS) in the general framework of Athey et al. (Generalized Random Forests, Annals of Statistics, Vol. 47, 2019) and provide a software implementation for R and C++. We use the method to revisit the classic application of instrumental...

Geographically Weighted Poisson Regression (GWPR) for Analyzing The Malnutrition Data in Java-Indonesia
Saefuddin, Asep; Saepudin, Didin; Kusumaningrum, Dian - 2013
Many regression models are used to provide some recommendations in private sectors or government public policy. Data are usually obtained from several districts which may varies from one to the others. Assuming there is no significant variation among local data, a single global model may provide...

Backward CUSUM for Testing and Monitoring Structural Change
Otto, Sven; Breitung, Jörg - 2020
It is well known that the conventional CUSUM test suffers from low power and large detection delay. We therefore propose two alternative detector statistics. The backward CUSUM detector sequentially cumulates the recursive residuals in reverse chronological order, whereas the stacked backward...
