Nonparametric Estimation of the Random Coefficients Model in Python

Computation 2021-08-17 v2 Methodology

Abstract

We present PyRMLE\textbf{PyRMLE}, a Python module that implements Regularized Maximum Likelihood Estimation for the analysis of Random Coefficient models. PyRMLE\textbf{PyRMLE} is simple to use and readily works with data formats that are typical to Random Coefficient problems. The module makes use of Python's scientific libraries NumPy\textbf{NumPy} and SciPy\textbf{SciPy} for computational efficiency. The main implementation of the algorithm is executed purely in Python code which takes advantage of Python's high-level features.
