Generalized varying index coefficient models

Generalized Varying-Coefficient Models

This paper deals with statistical inferences based on the generalized varying-coeÆcient models proposed by Hastie and Tibshirani (1993). Local polynomial regression techniques are used to estimate coeÆcient functions and the asymptotic normality of the resulting estimators is established. The standard error formulas for estimated coeÆcients are derived and are empirically tested. A goodness-oft...

Varying Index Coefficient Models

It has been a long history of using interactions in regression analysis to investigate alterations in covariate-effects on response variables. In this article, we aim to address two kinds of new challenges arising from the inclusion of such high-order effects in the regression model for complex data. The first kind concerns a situation where interaction effects of individual covariates are weak...

Generalized varying coefficient models for longitudinal data

We propose a generalization of the varying coefficient model for longitudinal data to cases where not only current but also recent past values of the predictor process affect current response. More precisely, the targeted regression coefficient functions of the proposed model have sliding window supports around current time t. A variant of a recently proposed two-step estimation method for vary...

Generalized Soft-Thresholding and Varying-coefficient Models

Varying-coefficient single-index model

In this paper, the varying-coefficient single-indexmodel (VCSIM) is proposed. It can be seen as a generalization of the semivaryingcoefficient model by changing its constant coefficient part to a nonparametric component, or a generalization of the partially linear single-indexmodel by replacing the constant coefficients of its linear part with varying coefficients. Based on the local linear met...
