Logit-based alternatives to two-stage least squares
We propose logit-based IV and augmented logit-based IV estimators that serve as alternatives to the traditionally used 2SLS estimator in the model where both the endogenous treatment variable and the corresponding instrument are binary. Our novel estimators are as easy to compute as the 2SLS estimator but have an advantage over the 2SLS estimator in ...

Two-Stage Least Squares with a Randomly Right-Censored Outcome [PDF]
This note develops a simple two-stage least squares (2SLS) procedure to estimate the causal effect of some endogenous regressors on a randomly right censored outcome in the linear model. The proposal replaces the usual ordinary least squares regressions of the standard 2SLS by weighted least squares regressions.

Nearest neighbours in least-squares data imputation algorithms with different missing patterns [PDF]
Methods for imputation of missing data in the so-called least-squares approximation approach, a non-parametric computationally efficient multidimensional technique, are experimentally compared.

Local RBF approximation for scattered data fitting with bivariate splines [PDF]
In this paper we continue our earlier research [4] aimed at developing effcient methods of local approximation suitable for the first stage of a spline based two-stage scattered data fitting algorithm.

Convex Combination of Ordinary Least Squares and Two-stage Least Squares Estimators
In the presence of confounders, the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator is known to be biased. This problem can be remedied by using the two-stage least squares (TSLS) estimator, based on the availability of valid instrumental variables (IVs). This reduction in bias, however, is offset by an increase in variance.
