The Exploration of Effect of Model Misspecification and Development of an Adequacy-Test for Substitution Model in Phylogenetics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
It is possible that the maximum likelihood method can give an inconsistent result when the DNA sequences are generated under a tree topology which is in the Felsentein Zone and analyzed with a misspeci ed model.

Imputation Estimators Partially Correct for Model Misspecification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Inference problems with incomplete observations often aim at estimating population prop-erties of unobserved quantities. One simple way to accomplish this estimation is to impute the unobserved quantities of interest at the individual level and then take

Effects of Outsourced Agricultural Extension Services on the Technical Efficiency and Financial Returns of Soybean Farms in Northern Cameroon

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the agricultural landscape of most developing countries, the last decade has witnessed the expansion of outsourced agricultural extension services. Private firms and nongovernmental organizations focused on delivering agricultural extension and advisory services to farmers have emerged.

Welfare Cost of Model Uncertainty in a Small Open Economy

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
This paper extends the canonical small open-economy real-business-cycle model, when considering model uncertainty. Domestic households have multiplier preferences, which leads them to take robust decisions in response to possible model misspecification ...

Model Misspecification in Statistical Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In my talk, I will discuss two important problems related with model misspecification. How do we provide powerful tests for checking misspecification in hypothesized models?

Blockchain‐Based Smart Contracts in US Specialty Crop Marketing: Grower Preferences and Adoption Potential

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using survey and discrete choice experiment data, we examined US specialty crop growers' preferences for marketing contract attributes in the context of emerging blockchain‐based technologies and expanding traceability initiatives. Results show that farmers preferred traditional written contracts but might be willing to accept digital ...

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

On the consequences of model misspecification in logistic regression. [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironmental Health Perspectives, 1990
Logistic regression models are commonly used to study the association between a binary response variable and an exposure variable. Besides the exposure of interest, other covariates are frequently included in the fitted model in order to control for their effects on outcome.

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Generalized Information Matrix Tests for Detecting Model Misspecification

open access: yesEconometrics, 2016
Generalized Information Matrix Tests (GIMTs) have recently been used for detecting the presence of misspecification in regression models in both randomized controlled trials and observational studies.
