• Choice among lotteries when preferences are stochastic 

      Dagsvik, John K. (Discussion Papers;No. 221, Working paper, 1998)
      Abstract: This paper discusses the problem of specifying probabilistic models for choices (strategies) with uncertain outcomes. The point of departure is an extension of the axiom system of the von Neumann-Morgenstern ...
    • Efficient simulated maximum likelihood estimation through explicitly parameter dependent importance sampling 

      Brinch, Christian N. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      There exists an overall negative assessment of the performance of the simulated maximum likelihood algorithm in the statistics literature, founded on both theoretical and empirical results. At the same time, there also ...
    • Eksakte metodar for analyse av 2x2 tabellar 

      Aaberge, Rolf (Rapporter;1979/20, Report, 1979)
      Dei fleste matematisk-statistiske metodane som er utvikla til analyse av tabellar, byggjer på føresetnader om at talet på observasjonar i cellene er "stort". Haldorsen (1977a) og (1977b) omtalar metodar som kviler på ...
    • Eksakte metodar for analyse av tovegstabellar 

      Aaberge, Rolf (Rapporter;1980/22, Report, 1980)
      Dei fleste matematisk-statistiske metodane som er utvikla til analyse av tabellar, byggjer på føresetnader om at talet på observasjonar i tabellcellene er "stort. Haldorsen (1977a) og (1977b) omtalar metodar som kviler ...
    • Markov chains generated by maximizing components of multidimensional extremal processes 

      Dagsvik, John K. (Discussion Papers;No. 12, Working paper, 1985)
      A multidimensional inhomogenous extremal process is defined and it is demonstrated that it belongs to the class of pure jump Markov processes. Let {Z.(t)} be the j-th component of the process. Let {J(t)} be a finite state ...
    • Multinomial choice and selectivity 

      Dagsvik, John K. (Discussion Papers;No 264, Working paper, 2000)
      In this paper we discuss two types of selection problems. The first problem is motivated by labor market analyses such as the estimation of sector-specific wage equations where the sector for which the wages are observed ...
    • Nonparametric identification of discrete choice models 

      Dagsvik, John K. (Discussion Papers;No. 222, Working paper, 1998)
      Abstracts: In this paper we give simple proofs of identification results in discrete choice models for the case where neither the derteministic part nor the distribution function of the random parts of the utility function ...
    • A note on the effect of auxiliary information on the variance of cluster sampling 

      Hagesæther, Nina; Zhang, Li-Chun (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)
      A model-based synthesis is presented for a number of well-known results concerning the design effect of cluster sampling. This helps to yield a simpler perspective, making the design-based expressions more transparent. ...
    • On some common practices of systematic sampling 

      Zhang, Li-Chun (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)
      Systematic sampling is widely used technique in survey sampling. It is easy to execute, whether the units are to be selected with equal probability or with probabilities proportional to auxiliary sizes. It can be very ...
    • On the Bias in Gross Labour Flow Estimates Due to Nonresponse and Misclassification 

      Zhang, Li-Chun (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005)
      Abstract: I evaluate and compare the bias due to nonresponse and misclassification in the sample gross labour flow estimates from the Norwegian Labour Force Survey (LFS). These help also to explain the level and net change ...
    • Using the Helmert-transformation to reduce dimensionality in a mixed model: An application to a wage equation with worker and firm heterogeneity 

      Nilsen, Øivind Anti; Raknerud, Arvid; Skjerpen, Terje (Discussion Papers;No. 667, Working paper, 2011)
      Abstract: A model for matched data with two types of unobserved heterogeneity is considered – one related to the observation unit, the other to units to which the observation units are matched. One or both of the unobserved ...
