Target Matrix Estimators in Risk-Based Portfolios

open access: yesRisks, 2018
Portfolio weights solely based on risk avoid estimation errors from the sample mean, but they are still affected from the misspecification in the sample covariance matrix.

Acknowledging Misspecification in Macroeconomic Theory

open access: yes, 2002
We explore methods for confronting model misspecification in macroeconomics. We construct dynamic equilibria in which private agents and policy makers recognize that models are approximations.

Decision-Making Under Model Misspecification: DRO with Robust Bayesian Ambiguity Sets

open access: yesEntropy
Distributionally Robust Optimisation (DRO) protects risk-averse decision-makers by considering the worst-case risk within an ambiguity set of distributions based on the empirical distribution or a model. To further guard against finite, noisy data, model-

Multicollinearity and Model Misspecification

open access: yesSociological Science, 2016
Multicollinearity in linear regression is typically thought of as a problem of large standard errors due to near-linear dependencies among independent variables. This problem can be solved by more informative data, possibly in the form of a larger sample.

Specifying Turning Point in Piecewise Growth Curve Models: Challenges and Solutions

open access: yesFrontiers 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).

Modeling Model Misspecification in Structural Equation Models

open access: yesStats, 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.

System Misspecification Testing and Structural Change in the Demand for Meats

open access: yesJournal 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

Fit assessment and selection between competitive models in sem

open access: yesStatistica, 2007
This paper outlines some issues in fit assessment and in selection between competitive models in Structural Equation Models(SEM). The theory on chi-square statistic and the results of some simulation studies are reviewed and the methodological ...

Power Analysis for Parameter Estimation in Structural Equation Modeling: A Discussion and Tutorial

open access: yesAdvances in Methods and Practices in Psychological Science, 2021
Despite the widespread and rising popularity of structural equation modeling (SEM) in psychology, there is still much confusion surrounding how to choose an appropriate sample size for SEM.

On the Model-Misspecification in Reinforcement Learning

open access: yes, 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.
