چکیده

We study a semiparametric generalized additive coefficient model, in which linear predictors in the conventional generalized linear models is generalized to unknown functions depending on certain covariates, and approximate the nonparametric functions by using polynomial spline. The asymptotic expansion with optimal rates of convergence for the estimators of the nonparametric part is established. Semiparametric generalized likelihood ratio test is also proposed to check if a nonparametric coefficient can be simplified as a parametric one. A conditional bootstrap version is suggested to approximate the distribution of the test under the null hypothesis. Extensive Monte Carlo simulation studies are conducted to examine the finite sample performance of the proposed methods. We further apply the proposed model and methods to a data set from a human visceral Leishmaniasis (HVL) study conduced in Brazil from 1994 to 1997. Numerical results outperform the traditional generalized linear model and the proposed generalized additive coefficient model is preferable.

Estimation and Variable Selection for Generalized Additive Partial Linear Models By

We study generalized additive partial linear models, proposing the use of polynomial spline smoothing for estimation of nonparametric functions, and deriving quasi-likelihood based estimators for the linear parameters. We establish asymptotic normality for the estimators of the parametric components. The procedure avoids solving large systems of equations as in kernel-based procedures and thus ...

Some Results on Penalized Spline Estimation in Generalized Additive and Semiparametric Models

In spline regression models, the smoothness of the tted model depends on the knots via their location and how many knots there are. An alternative to knot selection is to keep all the knots, but to restrict their in uence on the tted model, that is, to constrain the values of these coe cients which correspond to the spline basis functions. For example, we can bound the squared L2 norm by some c...

Modelling and smoothing parameter estimation with multiple quadratic penalties

Penalized likelihood methods provide a range of practical modelling tools, including spline smoothing, generalized additive models and variants of ridge regression. Selecting the correct weights for penalties is a critical part of using these methods and in the single penalty case the analyst has several well founded techniques to choose from. However, many modelling problems suggest a formulat...

Sharpening P-spline signal regression

We propose two variations of P-spline signal regression: space-varying penalization signal regression (SPSR) and additive polynomial signal regression (APSR). SPSR uses space-varying roughness penalty according to the estimated coefficients from the partial least-squares (PLS) regression, while APSR expands the linear basis to polynomial bases. SPSR and APSR are motivated in the following two s...
