news
A working paper describing the data and methods used for our probabilistic UEFA Euro 2020 forecast, published earlier this week, is available now. Additionally, details on the predicted performance of all teams during the group stage are provided. Read more ›
Hybrid machine learning forecasts for the UEFA Euro 2020
news
Probabilistic forecasts for the UEFA Euro 2020 are obtained by using a hybrid model that combines data from four advanced statistical models through random forests. The favorite is France, followed by England and Spain. Read more ›
ivreg: Two-stage least-squares regression with diagnostics
news
The ivreg function for instrumental variables regression had first been introduced in the AER package but is now developed and extended in its own package of the same name. This post provides a short overview and illustration. Read more ›

Bias reduction in Poisson and Tobit regression
news
While it is well-known that data separation can cause infinite estimates in binary regression models, the same is also true for other models with a point mass at the bounday (typically at zero) such as Poisson and Tobit. It is shown why this happens and how it can be remedied with bias-reduced estimation, along with implementations in R. Read more ›
