A Binary Choice Model with Sample Selection and Covariate-Related Misclassification

Econometrics, 2022
Misclassification of a binary response variable and nonrandom sample selection are data issues frequently encountered by empirical researchers. For cases in which both issues feature simultaneously in a data set, we formulate a sample selection model for

Multiple Comparison Procedures for the Differences of Proportion Parameters in Over-Reported Multiple-Sample Binomial Data

Stats, 2020
In sequential tests, typically a (pairwise) multiple comparison procedure (MCP) is performed after an omnibus test (an overall equality test). In general, when an omnibus test (e.g., overall equality of multiple proportions test) is rejected, then we ...
