Bayesian sample size determination for binary regression with a misclassified covariate and no gold standard

Beavers, Daniel P.; Stamey, James D. - In: Computational Statistics & Data Analysis 56 (2012) 8, pp. 2574-2582

Covariate misclassification is a common problem in epidemiology, genetics, and other biomedical areas. Because this form of misclassification is known to bias estimators, accounting for it at the design stage is of high importance. In this paper, we extend on previous work applied to response...

A Hausman test for non-ignorability

Bücker, Michael; Krämer, Walter; Arnold, Matthias - In: Economics Letters 114 (2012) 1, pp. 23-25

Using an empirical likelihood approach, we show that generalized linear models can still be consistently estimated even if dependent variables are not missing at random, and derive a Hausman test by comparing this estimator to the standard one.

Analyzing the volume and nature of emergency medical calls during severe weather events using regression methodologies

McLay, Laura A.; Boone, Edward L.; Brooks, J. Paul - In: Socio-Economic Planning Sciences 46 (2012) 1, pp. 55-66

An effective emergency medical service (EMS) response to emergency medical calls during extreme weather events is a critical public service. Nearly all models for allocating EMS resources focus on normal operating conditions. However, public health risks become even more critical during extreme...

Voter decisions on eminent domain and police power reforms

Adanu, Kwami; Hoehn, John P.; Norris, Patricia; … - In: Journal of Housing Economics 21 (2012) 2, pp. 187-194

One unresolved issue arising from the use of eminent domain power involves how the perceived benefits and costs of eminent domain power affect people’s positions on the reform of eminent domain and police power law. The paper addresses this issue by estimating a voting model that explains...

The role of self-reporting bias in health, mental health and labor force participation: a descriptive analysis

Leroux, Justin; Rizzo, John; Sickles, Robin - In: Empirical Economics 43 (2012) 2, pp. 525-536

Previous research on male subjects has conjectured that subjective self-reports of health status may lead to an upward bias in the estimated effect of health on labor force participation because subjects who are out of the labor force may be more likely to understate their health status so as to...
