Circumventing the Curse of Dimensionality in Applied Work Using Computer Intensive Methods.

Following recent advances in the development of simulation-based inference, the author outlines a suite of programs designed to circumvent the 'curse of dimensionality' common to the class of so-called qualitative and limited dependent variable models. The author discusses the nature of the dimensionality problem, briefly introduces the form of a simple simulation technique, outlines the structure and capabilities of the programs, and provides a numerical experiment.
