Inference in a Class of Optimization Problems: Confidence Regions and Finite Sample Bounds on Errors in Coverage Probabilities

Inference in a Class of Optimization Problems: Confidence Regions and Finite Sample Bounds on Errors in Coverage Probabilities

This article describes three methods for carrying out nonasymptotic inference on partially identified parameters that are solutions to a class of optimization problems. Applications in which the optimization problems arise include estimation under shape restrictions, estimation of models of discrete games, and estimation based on grouped data. The partially identified …
