This paper investigates the impact of human capital on the process of economic growth by
allowing the contribution of traditional inputs (capital and labour) as well as that of human …

This paper studies the estimation of a varying-coefficient partially linear regression model
which is a generalization of the partially linear regression model and varying-coefficient …

This paper considers a proportional hazards model, which allows one to examine the extent
to which covariates interact nonlinearly with an exposure variable, for analysis of lifetime …

The authors study a varying‐coefficient regression model in which some of the covariates
are measured with additive errors. They find that the usual local linear estimator (LLE) of the …

The method of covariate-adjusted regression was recently proposed for situations where
both predictors and response in a regression model are not directly observed, but are …

We apply a smooth coefficient semiparametric model to a unique high‐frequency data set to
examine the intertemporal pricing of personal computers. Furthermore, we test whether firms …

Study objectives: Quitline—an antismoking advertising and a telephone helpline service—is
an effective public health intervention strategy for tobacco control. The objective of this short …

In this paper, we introduce a kernel‐based estimation principle for nonparametric models
named local partitioned regression (LPR). This principle is a nonparametric generalization …

This thesis presents methods for modelling conditional variance and uncertainty of
prediction at a query point on the basis of industrial process data. The introductory part of the …
