Empirical likelihood for single-index varying-coefficient models
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we develop statistical inference techniques for the unknown coefficient functions and singleindex parameters in single-index varying-coefficient models. We first estimate the nonparametric component via the local linear fitting, then construct an estimated empirical likelihood ratio function and hence obtain a maximum empirical likelihood estimator for the parametric component. Our estimator for parametric component is asymptotically efficient, and the estimator of nonparametric component has an optimal convergence rate. Our results provide ways to construct the confidence region for the involved unknown parameter. We also develop an adjusted empirical likelihood ratio for constructing the confidence regions of parameters of interest. A simulation study is conducted to evaluate the finite sample behaviors of the proposed methods.

Empirical likelihood in some nonparametric and semiparametric models
In this very selective overview, we summarise the recent developments by our own and other, on the empirical likelihood in some nonparametric and semiparametric regression models. The models include the partially linear model, the single-index model, the partially linear singleindex model, the varying coefficient model, and so on. The focus of this overview is to expatiate the adjustment and “b...
متن کاملImputed Empirical Likelihood for Varying Coefficient Models with Missing Covariates
The empirical likelihood-based inference for varying coefficient models with missing covariates is investigated. An imputed empirical likelihood ratio function for the coefficient functions is proposed, and it is shown that iis limiting distribution is standard chi-squared. Then the corresponding confidence intervals for the regression coefficients are constructed. Some simulations show that th...
متن کاملInference for Single-index Quantile Regression Models with Profile Optimization by Shujie Ma
Single index models offer greater flexibility in data analysis than linear models but retain some of the desirable properties such as the interpretability of the coefficients. We consider a pseudo-profile likelihood approach to estimation and testing for single-index quantile regression models. We establish the asymptotic normality of the index coefficient estimator as well as the optimal conve...
متن کاملFuzzy Varying Coefficient Bilinear Regression of Yield Series
We construct a fuzzy varying coefficient bilinear regression model to deal with the interval financial data and then adopt the least-squares method based on symmetric fuzzy number space. Firstly, we propose a varying coefficient model on the basis of the fuzzy bilinear regression model. Secondly, we develop the least-squares method according to the complete distance between fuzzy numbers to est...
متن کاملEfficient estimation and model selection for single-index varying-coefficient models
The single-index varying-coefficient models include many types of popular semiparametric models, i.e. single-index models, partially linear models, varying-coefficient models, and so on. In this paper, we first establish the semiparametric efficiency bound for the single-index varying-coefficient model, and develop an estimation method based on the efficient estimating equations. Although our m...
