This chapter introduces an information theoretic approach to specify econometric functionsas an alternative to avoid parametric assumptions. We investigate the performances of theinformation theoretic method in estimating the regression (conditional mean) and response(derivative) functions. We have demonstrated that they are easy to implement, and are advantageous over parametric models and nonparametric kernel techniques.
本章介绍一种信息理论方法,以指定计量经济函数作为避免参数假设的替代方法。我们研究了信息理论方法在估计回归(条件均值)和响应(导数)函数中的性能。我们已经证明它们易于实现,并且优于参数模型和非参数内核技术。
