摘要:
Mixed regressive, spatial autoregressive (MRSAR) model is widely used in geostatistics, spatial econometrics, regional science and urban economics. Under flexible distributional assumptions, the restricted quasi-maximum likelihood (REQML) estimator for mixed regressive, spatial autoregressive model is studied in this study. The proposed estimation method accommodates the extra uncertainty introduced by the unknown regression coefficients. Moreover, the explicit expressions of theoretical/feasible second-order-bias of the RQEML estimator are derived and the difference between them is investigated. The feasible second-order-bias corrected REQML estimator is then designed accordingly for small sample setting. Extensive simulation studies are conducted under both normal and non-normal situations, showing that the quasi-maximum likelihood (QML) estimator suffers from large bias when the sample size is relatively small and such bias can be effectively eliminated by the proposed REQML estimation method. The use of the method is then demonstrated in the analysis of the Neighborhood Crimes Data.
