Nonparametric estimation of an additive model with a link function
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an estimator of the additive components of a nonparametric additive model with a known link function. When the additive components are twice continuously differentiable, the estimator is asymptotically normally distributed with a rate of convergence in probability of 2 / 5 n− . This is true regardless of the (finite) dimension of the explanatory variable. Thus, in contrast to the existing asymptotically normal estimator, the new estimator has no curse of dimensionality. Moreover, the asymptotic distribution of each additive component is the same as it would be if the other components were known with certainty. MSC: AMS 2000 subject classifications.

Oracle-efficient Nonparametric Estimation of an Additive Model with an Unknown Link Function
This paper describes an estimator of the additive components of a nonparametric additive model with an unknown link function. When the additive components and link function are twice differentiable with sufficiently smooth second derivatives, the estimator is asymptotically normally distributed with a rate of convergence in probability of . This is true regardless of the (finite) dimension of t...
متن کاملRate-optimal Estimation for a General Class of Nonparametric Regression Models with Unknown Link Functions
This paper discusses a nonparametric regression model that naturally generalizes neural network models. The model is based on a finite number of one-dimensional transformations and can be estimated with a one-dimensional rate of convergence. The model contains the generalized additive model with unknown link function as a special case. For this case, it is shown that the additive components and...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of a Generalized Additive Model with an Unknown Link Function
This paper is concerned with estimating the mean of a random variable Y conditional on a vector of covariates X under weak assumptions about the form of the conditional mean function. Fully nonparametric estimation is usually unattractive when X is multidimensional because estimation precision decreases rapidly as the dimension of X increases. This problem can be overcome by using dimension red...

متن کاملEmpirical Likelihood for Nonparametric Additive Models
Nonparametric additive modeling is a fundamental tool for statistical data analysis which allows flexible functional forms for conditional mean or quantile functions but avoids the curse of dimensionality for fully nonparametric methods induced by high-dimensional covariates. This paper proposes empirical likelihood-based inference methods for unknown functions in three types of nonparametric a...
