A Partially Parametric Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a model which includes both a known (potentially) nonlinear parametric component and an unknown nonparametric component. This approach is feasible given that we estimate the finite sample parameter vector and the bandwidths simultaneously. We show that our objective function is asymptotically equivalent to the individual objective criteria for the parametric parameter vector and the nonparametric function. In the special case where the parametric component is linear in parameters, our single-step method is asymptotically equivalent to the two-step partially linear model estimator in Robinson (1988). Monte Carlo simulations support the asymptotic developments and show impressive finite sample performance. We apply our method to the case of a partially constant elasticity of substitution production function for an unbalanced sample of 134 countries from 1955-2011 and find that the parametric parameters are relatively stable for different nonparametric control variables in the full sample. However, we find substantial parameter heterogeneity between developed and developing countries which results in important differences when estimating the elasticity of substitution.

Non-parametric Modeling of Partially Ranked Data
Statistical models on full and partial rankings of n items are often of limited practical use for large n due to computational consideration. We explore the use of non-parametric models for partially ranked data and derive efficient procedures for their use for large n. The derivations are largely possible through combinatorial and algebraic manipulations based on the lattice of partial ranking...
متن کاملInterference Estimation and Mitigation for Stap Using the Two-dimensional Wold Decomposition Parametric Model
We develop parametric modeling and estimation methods for STAP data based on the results of the 2-D Wold-like decomposition. We show that the same parametric model that results from the 2-D Wold-like orthogonal decomposition naturally arises as the physical model in the problem of spacetime processing of airborne radar data. We exploit this correspondence to derive computationally efficient par...
متن کاملVariance function partially linear single-index models
We consider heteroscedastic regression models where the mean function is a partially linear single-index model and the variance function depends on a generalized partially linear single-index model.We do not insist that the variance function depends only on the mean function, as happens in the classical generalized partially linear single-index model.We develop efficient and practical estimatio...
متن کاملSimultaneous Inference of Partially Linear Error-in-Covariate Models: an Application to the U.S. Gasoline Demand∗
In this paper, we conduct simultaneous inference of the non-parametric multivariate function of a partially linear model when the covariate terms in both parametric and non-parametric parts are subject to the Berkson measurement errors. Based on semiparametric estimates of the model, we construct a simultaneous confidence region of the multivariate function for simultaneous inference. The devel...
