Conditional Likelihood Ratio Test with Many Weak Instruments
This paper extends validity of the conditional likelihood ratio (CLR) test developed by Moreira (2003) to instrumental variable regression models with unknown error variance and many weak instruments. In this setting, we argue that the conventional CLR test with estimated error variance loses exact similarity and is asymptotically invalid. We propose a modified critical value function for the likelihood ratio (LR) statistic with estimated error variance, and prove that this modified test achieves asymptotic validity under many weak instrument asymptotics. Our critical value function is constructed by representing the LR using four statistics, instead of two as in Moreira (2003). A simulation study illustrates the desirable properties of our test.

Weakly Supervised Label Learning Flows
Supervised learning usually requires a large amount of labelled data. However, attaining ground-truth labels is costly for many tasks. Alternatively, weakly supervised methods learn with cheap weak signals that only appr…

Traditional structured prediction models try to learn the conditional likelihood, i.e., p(y|x), to capture the relationship between the structured output y and the input features x. For many models, computing the likelih…

The classical tests in the instrumental variable model can behave arbitrarily if the data is contaminated. For instance, one outlying observation can be enough to change the outcome of a test. We develop a framework to c…
