The smoothed maximum score estimator of the coefficient vector of a binary response model is consistent and asymptotically normal under weak distributional assumptions. However, the differences between the true and nominal levels of tests based on smoothed maximum score estimates can be very...

Tests of statistical hypotheses can be based on either of two critical values: the Type I critical value or the size-corrected critical value. The former usually depends on unknown population parameters and cannot be evaluated exactly in applications, but it can often be estimated very...
