Title: Modified Inferential Methods on Restricted Parameters in Multivariate Regression Analysis: Applications in Socio-demographic Research

Speaker: Sheikh Mohammad Sayem

               PhD Researcher, ISRT
 
Abstract: Multivariate regression analysis is getting increasing attention among the socio-demographers due to the complex nature of the interdependence of the response variables. This PhD research is to carry out detailed study on restricted parameters of multivariate regression analysis with continuous, discrete or mixed responses to seek out or develop efficient point estimation strategy and hence develop appropriate hypothesis testing procedure for hypothesis involving restricted parameters.This seminar will give a clear idea about the specific objectives of the PhD research and about the way how the objectives will be met in line of the existing literature. In this study, a modified maximum likelihood estimation technique is primarily used for estimating restricted parameters of multivariate regression analysis with continuous responses. A Monte Carlo simulation is carried out to evaluate the performance of the estimators. The relative efficiency of the modified maximum likelihood estimator is found to be higher than the ordinary least square or maximum likelihood estimators.
