Modeling Nonnegativity Via Truncated Logistic and Normal Distributions: An Application to Ranch Land Price Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 1994
This study presents an empirical method of modeling the nonnegativity of dependent variables using truncated logistic and normal disturbance distributions. The method is applied in estimating a ranch land hedonic price function.

Robustness of Regularized Regression Methods Under Compound Model Misspecification: A Simulation Benchmarking Study [PDF]

open access: yesTutorials in Quantitative Methods for Psychology
Regularized regressions are widely used in psychological research where the fitted model is assumed to be correctly specified. Yet, psychological data routinely violates assumptions of linearity, homoscedasticity and additivity which raises questions ...

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).

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.

Comparing the Robustness of the Structural after Measurement (SAM) Approach to Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) against Local Model Misspecifications with Alternative Estimation Approaches

open access: yesStats, 2022
Structural equation models (SEM), or confirmatory factor analysis as a special case, contain model parameters at the measurement part and the structural part.

Consequences of Model Misspecification for Maximum Likelihood Estimation with Missing Data

open access: yesEconometrics, 2019
Researchers are often faced with the challenge of developing statistical models with incomplete data. Exacerbating this situation is the possibility that either the researcher’s complete-data model or the model of the missing-data mechanism is ...

Accuracy of attribute estimation in the crossed random effects linear logistic test model: impact of Q-matrix misspecification

open access: yesFrontiers in Education
A simulation study is designed to explore the accuracy of attribute parameter estimation in the crossed random effects linear logistic test model (CRELLTM) with the impact of Q-matrix misspecification on attribute parameter estimation using the SAS ...

Allele frequency misspecification: effect on power and Type I error of model-dependent linkage analysis of quantitative traits under random ascertainment

open access: yesBMC Genetics, 2006
Background Studies of model-based linkage analysis show that trait or marker model misspecification leads to decreasing power or increasing Type I error rate.

On the pitfalls of Gaussian likelihood scoring for causal discovery

open access: yesJournal of Causal Inference, 2023
We consider likelihood score-based methods for causal discovery in structural causal models. In particular, we focus on Gaussian scoring and analyze the effect of model misspecification in terms of non-Gaussian error distribution. We present a surprising

On the Performance of the RESET Test Under Temporal Aggregation and Autoregressive Dynamics: Evidence from Simulation and Exchange Rate Data

open access: yesMathematics
Ramsey’s RESET test is widely used as an omnibus diagnostic for model misspecification, yet its reliability may be affected by temporal aggregation, autoregressive persistence, and the statistical properties of financial time series.
