Dyadic Regression with Sample Selection
This paper addresses the sample selection problem in panel dyadic regression analysis. Dyadic data often include many zeros in the main outcomes due to the underlying network formation process. This not only contaminates popular estimators used in practice but also complicates the inference due to the dyadic dependence structure. We extend Kyriazidou (1997)'s approach to dyadic data and characterize the asymptotic distribution of our proposed estimator. The convergence rates are $\sqrt{n}$ or $\sqrt{n^{2}h_{n}}$, depending on the degeneracy of the H\'{a}jek projection part of the estimator, where $n$ is the number of nodes and $h_{n}$ is a bandwidth. We propose a bias-corrected confidence interval and a variance estimator that adapts to the degeneracy. A Monte Carlo simulation shows the good finite sample performance of our estimator and highlights the importance of bias correction in both asymptotic regimes when the fraction of zeros in outcomes varies. We illustrate our procedure using data from Moretti and Wilson (2017)'s paper on migration.

Dyadic Regression
Dyadic data, where outcomes reflecting pairwise interaction among sampled units are of primary interest, arise frequently in social science research. Regression analyses with such data feature prominently in many researc…

We propose a new nonparametric learning method based on multivariate dyadic regression trees (MDRTs). Unlike traditional dyadic decision trees (DDTs) or classification and regression trees (CARTs), MDRTs are constructed…

Proposed by Donoho (1997), Dyadic CART is a nonparametric regression method which computes a globally optimal dyadic decision tree and fits piecewise constant functions in two dimensions. In this article we define and st…

This paper studies the identification and estimation of a nonparametric nonseparable dyadic model where the structural function and the distribution of the unobservable random terms are assumed to be unknown. The identif…
regressionA two-step learning approach for solving full and almost full cold start problems in dyadic prediction
Dyadic prediction methods operate on pairs of objects (dyads), aiming to infer labels for out-of-sample dyads. We consider the full and almost full cold start problem in dyadic prediction, a setting that occurs when both…
