You'll also see approximations to Mills' ratio, which is $$ R(x) = \frac{Q(x)}{\varphi(x)} $$ where $\varphi(x) = (2\pi)^{-1/2} e^{-x^2 / 2}$ is the Gaussian pdf. … It is, in terms of Mills' ratio, $$ R(x) = \frac{1}{x+}\frac{1}{x+}\frac{2}{x+}\frac{3}{x+}\cdots , $$ where the notation I've used is fairly standard for a continued fraction, i.e., $1/(x+1/(x+2/(x+3/ …

.$$ It's the original mean minus a correction term proportional to the Inverse Mills Ratio. … Finally, when $T = \mu$ is at the mean, $t=0$ where the inverse Mills Ratio equals $\sqrt{2/\pi} \approx 0.797885$. …

So we have to evaluate the limit $$\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}\left (x\frac {(1-\Phi(x))}{\phi(x)}-1\right) $$ But $\frac {(1-\Phi(x))}{\phi(x)}$ is Mill's ratio, and we know that the Mill's ratio for … Mill's ratio). Also, de Haan examines the sufficient condition already differentiated. …

likelihood of participation in the labor force at first stage using a probit model and the exclusion restriction (the same criteria for valid instruments apply here), calculate the predicted inverse Mills … ratio ($\hat{\lambda}$) for each observation, and in second stage, estimate the wage offer using the $\hat{\lambda}$ as a predictor in the model (Wooldridge 2009). …

.$ But here, the Mills Ratio is $$R(-x) = \frac{\Phi(x)}{\phi(x)}$$ which, as the linked post explains, is bounded below by $-x/(x^2+1).$ Thus, for large negative $x$ (say, $x \le -1$), $$\bigg|\frac … ) that the integral diverges when $k\le 1.$ (For a plot with $k=1$ -- which is just the inverse Mills' Ratio -- see the last figure of https://stats.stackexchange.com/a/166277/919.) …

Afterward, we estimate an Inverse Mill's Ratio which essentially tells us the probability that an agent decides to work over the cumulative probability of an agent's decision, i.e.: $$\lambda_{i} = \frac …

I'm more used to dealing with the error function $\mathrm{erf}(x)$ myself, but I'll try to recast what I know in terms of Mills's ratio $R(x)$ (as defined in cardinal's answer). … cardinal gave the Laplacian continued fraction as a way to bound Mills's ratio for large $|x|$; what is not as well-known is that the continued fraction is also useful for numerical evaluation. …

How do you interpret the coefficient of inverse Mills ratio (lambda) in two step Heckman model? …

.: p0 <- pnorm(mu/sigma) The conditional expectation of the censored $y$ given that it is non-zero is $E[y | y > 0] = \mu + \sigma \cdot \lambda(\mu/\sigma)$, where $\lambda(\cdot)$ is the inverse Mills … ratio $\lambda(x) = \phi(x)/\Phi(x)$: lambda <- function(x) dnorm(x)/pnorm(x) ey0 <- mu + sigma * lambda(mu/sigma) Finally, the unconditional expectation is $E[y] = P(y > 0) \cdot E[y | y > 0]$, i.e …

For this case, it is a pretty complicated function: $Y= \beta + \beta_1 D + \beta_2 \left[\lambda(\hat{D})-\lambda(-\hat{D})\right ] +\epsilon$ where $\lambda()$ is the inverse Mills ratio The advantage …

Using the mills ratio result, let $X \sim N(\mu, \sigma^2)$, then $E(X| X<\alpha) = \mu - \sigma\frac{\phi(\frac{a- \mu}{\sigma})}{\Phi(\frac{a-\mu}{\sigma})}$ However, when calculating it in R. …

Then the inverse mills ratio of every observation is calculated and included in a second-step OLS regression of the observations with $y>0$ of $y$ on explanatory variables. … The inverse Mills ratio is the ratio of the probability density function and the cumulative density function of the normal distribution evaluated at the predicted outcomes $x*b_2$ devided by the standard …

But also for a count like people per inhabitants the ratio can exceed 1. … close to 100% yield then it might sometimes exceed 100% due to measurement errors with weighting or because the process has some residue from a previous experiment (when I put 100 gram beans in my coffee mill …

For what it's worth, it appears to be the product of the Mills ratio and the CDF. …
