摘要:The act of choosing can have particular relevance in maximizing behavior for at least two distinct reasons: (1) process significance (preferences may be sensitive to the choice process, including the identity of the chooser), and (2) decisional inescapability (choices may have to be made whether or not the judgemental process has been completed). The general approach of maximizing behavior can - appropriately formulated - accommodate both concerns, but the regularities of choice behavior assum...

摘要:This paper presents a procedure for analyzing a model in which the parameter vector has two parts: a finite-dimensional component theta and a nonparametric component lambda. The procedure does not require parametric modeling of lambda but assumes that the true density of the data satisfies an index restriction. The idea is to construct a parametric model passing through the true model and to estimate theta by setting the score for the parametric model to zero. The score is estimated nonparamet...
