A flexible approach for estimating the effects of covariates on health expenditures
Article Abstract:
A flexible approach to determine the effects of covariates on health expenditures using sequences of conditional probability functions, similar to those used in discrete time hazard rate analysis is developed. The approximate conditional density estimator provides accurate and precise estimates of derivatives of expected outcomes for a wide range of types of explanatory variables.
