Efficient Estimation in Heteroscedastic Varying Coefficient Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper considers statistical inference for the heteroscedastic varying coefficient model. We propose an efficient estimator for coefficient functions that is more efficient than the conventional local-linear estimator. We establish asymptotic normality for the proposed estimator and conduct some simulation to illustrate the performance of the proposed method.

Efficient 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...
متن کاملStatistical Inference for Heteroscedastic Semi-Varying Coefficient EV Models.dvi
This paper proposes an estimation procedure for a class of semi-varying coefficient regression models when the covariates of the linear part are subject to measurement errors. Initial estimates for the regression and varying coefficients are first constructed by the profile least squares procedure without input from heteroscedasticity, a bias-corrected kernel estimate for the variance function ...
متن کاملLong-term Iran's inflation analysis using varying coefficient model
Varying coefficient Models are among the most important tools for discovering the dynamic patterns when a fixed pattern does not fit adequately well on the data, due to existing diverse temporal or local patterns. These models are natural extensions of classical parametric models that have achieved great popularity in data analysis with good interpretability.The high flexibility and interpretab...
متن کاملAsymptotically efficient estimators for nonparametric heteroscedastic regression models
This paper concerns the estimation of a function at a point in nonparametric heteroscedastic regression models with Gaussian noise or noise having unknown distribution. In those cases an asymptotically efficient kernel estimator is constructed for the minimax absolute error risk.
متن کاملEstimating and Clustering Curves in the Presence of Heteroscedastic Errors
The technique introduced in this paper is a means for estimating and discovering underlying patterns for a large number of curves observed with heteroscedastic errors. Therefore, both the mean and the variance functions of each curve are assumed unknown and varying over time. The method consists of a series of steps. We transform using an orthonormal basis of functions in L2. In the transform d...
