Robust estimation and variable selection for semiparametric partially linear varying coefficient model based on modal regression

R Zhang, W Zhao, J Liu - Journal of Nonparametric Statistics, 2013 - Taylor & Francis
The semiparametric partially linear varying coefficient models (SPLVCM) are frequently
used in statistical modelling, but most existing methods were built on either the least-square …

Categorical semiparametric varying‐coefficient models

QI Li, D Ouyang, JS Racine - Journal of Applied Econometrics, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Semiparametric varying‐coefficient models have become a common fixture in applied data
analysis. Existing approaches, however, presume that those variables affecting the …

Statistical inference for a single-index varying-coefficient model

L Xue, Z Pang - Statistics and Computing, 2013 - Springer
We investigate the estimators of parameters of interest for a single-index varying-coefficient
model. To estimate the unknown parameter efficiently, we first estimate the nonparametric …

Nonparametric estimation of a time-varying GARCH model

N Rohan, TV Ramanathan - Journal of Nonparametric Statistics, 2013 - Taylor & Francis
In this paper, a non-stationary time-varying GARCH (tvGARCH) model has been introduced
by allowing the parameters of a stationary GARCH model to vary as functions of time. It is …

Partial linear single index models with distortion measurement errors

J Zhang, Y Yu, LX Zhu, H Liang - Annals of the Institute of Statistical …, 2013 - Springer
We study partial linear single index models when the response and the covariates in the
parametric part are measured with errors and distorted by unknown functions of commonly …

[PDF][PDF] A new data set on bank competition

S Clerides, MD Delis, S Kokas - 2013 - aueb.gr
We estimate the degree of competition in the banking sectors of 148 countries worldwide
over the period 1997-2010. We employ three methods, namely those of Lerner (1934) …

Variable selection for single-index varying-coefficient model

S Feng, L Xue - Frontiers of Mathematics in China, 2013 - Springer
We consider the problem of variable selection for single-index varying-coefficient model,
and present a regularized variable selection procedure by combining basis function …

On a principal varying coefficient model

Q Jiang, H Wang, Y Xia, G Jiang - Journal of the American …, 2013 - Taylor & Francis
We propose a novel varying coefficient model (VCM), called principal varying coefficient
model (PVCM), by characterizing the varying coefficients through linear combinations of a …

Profile empirical-likelihood inferences for the single-index-coefficient regression model

Z Huang, R Zhang - Statistics and Computing, 2013 - Springer
This article deals with a new profile empirical-likelihood inference for a class of frequently
used single-index-coefficient regression models (SICRM), which were proposed by Xia and …
