Pairwise likelihood inference for the multivariate ordered probit model

Methodology 2019-01-30 v1

Abstract

This paper provides a closed form expression for the pairwise score vector for the multivariate ordered probit model. This result has several implications in likelihood-based inference. It is indeed used both to speed-up gradient based optimization routines for point estimation, and to provide a building block to compute standard errors and confidence intervals by means of the Godambe matrix.
