Modeling Model Misspecification in Structural Equation Models
Stats, 2023 Structural equation models constrain mean vectors and covariance matrices and are frequently applied in the social sciences. Frequently, the structural equation model is misspecified to some extent.

Behavioral Coping With Food Price Inflation: Patterns Among U.S. Households
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent food price inflation has placed substantial pressure on household budgets, food security, and mental well‐being. Using Household Pulse Survey data, we combine k‐modes clustering and Double Machine Learning to identify distinct household coping groups and examine differences in how households respond to rising food prices across groups ...

Specifying Turning Point in Piecewise Growth Curve Models: Challenges and Solutions
Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2017 Piecewise growth curve model (PGCM) is often used when the underlying growth process is not linear and is hypothesized to consist of phasic developments connected by turning points (or knots or change points).

System Misspecification Testing and Structural Change in the Demand for Meats
Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 1995 A misspecification testing strategy designed to ensure that the statistical assumptions underlying a system of equations are appropriate is outlined. The system tests take into account information in, and interactions between, all equations in the system

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The origin of a product, if associated with good quality, can contribute to building a positive collective reputation, leading to a potential price premium. However, it is conceivable that a producer markets a product by evoking symbols, images, words, and values typical of places other than where it was designed or produced, creating a ...

On the Model-Misspecification in Reinforcement Learning
, 2023 The success of reinforcement learning (RL) crucially depends on effective function approximation when dealing with complex ground-truth models. Existing sample-efficient RL algorithms primarily employ three approaches to function approximation: policy-based, value-based, and model-based methods.
