Abstract:

Manski’s celebrated maximum score estimator for the censored response linear model has been the focus of much investigation in both the econometrics and statistics literature, but its behavior under growing dimension scenarios still largely remains unknown. This project seeks to address that gap. Two different cases are considered: p grows with n but at a slow rate (i.e. p/n goes to 0 ) and p >> n (fast growth). By relating Manski’s score estimation to empirical risk minimization in a classification problem, we studied its convergence properties under suitable margin condition. We have also established minimax bounds under both the regimes, which differ by a log factor. In slow growth regime, we have constructed an estimator which is minimax optimal. Finally we provide some computational recipes for the maximum score estimator in growing dimensions that shows promising result.
