Semiparametric Estimation of a Censored Regression Model with an Unknown Transformation of the Dependent Variable by Tue Gørgens; Joel L. Horowitz is a Economics, Econometrics and Finance article available to read on EtoBox.

What is Semiparametric Estimation of a Censored Regression Model with an Unknown Transformation of the Dependent Variable about?

This paper presents a method for estimating the model (1⁄2)"min( X#o, C), where 1⁄2 is a scalar, is an unknown increasing function, X is a vector of explanatory variables, is a vector of unknown parameters, o has unknown cumulative distribution function F, and C is a censoring threshold. It is not assumed that and F belong to known parametric families; they are estimated nonparametrically. This model includes many widely used models as special cases, including the proportional hazards model with unobserved heterogeneity. The paper develops n-consistent, asymptotically normal estimators of and F. Estimators of that are n-consistent and asymptotically normal already exist. The results of Monte Carlo experiments illustrate the finite-sample behavior of the estimators.
