Estimation for partially linear models with missing responses: the fixed design case

Suppose that we have a partially linear model Yi=x′iβ+g(ti)+εi with independent zero mean errorsεi,where{xi,ti,i=1,···,n}are non-random and observed completely and{Yi,i=1,···,n}are missing at random(MAR).Two types of estimators ofβand g(t)for fixed t are investigated:estimators based on semiparametric regression and inverse probability weighted imputations.Asymptotic normality of the estimators is established,which is used to construct normal approximation based confidence intervals onβand g(t).Results are reported of a simulation study on the finite sample performance of the estimators and confidence intervals proposed in this paper.     

Variable selection for semiparametric varying-coefficient partially linear models with missing response at random

In this paper, we present a variable selection procedure by combining basis function approximations with penalized estimating equations for semiparametric varying-coefficient partially linear models with missing response at random. The proposed procedure simultaneously selects significant variables in parametric components and nonparametric components. With appropriate selection of the tuning parameters, we establish the consistency of the variable selection procedure and the convergence rate of the regularized estimators. A simulation study is undertaken to assess the finite sample performance of the proposed variable selection procedure.

A modified residual-based test for serial correlation in linear panel data models

This paper suggests a modified serial correlation test for linear panel data models, which is based on the parameter estimates for an artificial autoregression modeled by differencing and centering residual vectors. Specifically, the differencing operator over the time index and the centering operator over the individual index are, respectively, used to eliminate the potential individual effects and time effects so that the resultant serial correlation test is robust to the two potential effects. Clearly, the test is also robust to the potential correlation between the covariates and the random effects. The test is asymptotically chi-squared distributed under the null hypothesis. Power study shows that the test can detect local alternatives distinct at the parametric rate from the null hypothesis. The finite sample properties of the test are investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulation experiments, and a real data example is analyzed for illustration.     

Empirical likelihood-based inference in a partially linear model for longitudinal data

A partially linear model with longitudinal data is considered, empirical likelihood to infer- ence for the regression coefficients and the baseline function is investigated, the empirical log-likelihood ratios is proven to be asymptotically chi-squared, and the corresponding confidence regions for the pa- rameters of interest are then constructed. Also by the empirical likelihood ratio functions, we can obtain the maximum empirical likelihood estimates of the regression coefficients and the baseline function, and prove the asymptotic normality. The numerical results are conducted to compare the performance of the empirical likelihood and the normal approximation-based method, and a real example is analysed.     

Estimation of partial linear error-in-response models with validation data

In this paper, an estimation theory in partial linear model is developed when there is measurement error in the response and when validation data are available. A semiparametric method with the primary data is used to define two estimators for both the regression parameter and the nonparametric part using the least squares criterion with the help of validation data. The proposed estimators of the parameter are proved to be strongly consistent and asymptotically normaal, and the estimators of the nonparametric part are also proved to be strongly consistent and weakly consistent with an optimal convergent rate. Then, the two estimators of the parameter are compared based on their empirical performances.

Double penalized variable selection procedure for partially linear models with longitudinal data

Based on the double penalized estimation method,a new variable selection procedure is proposed for partially linear models with longitudinal data.The proposed procedure can avoid the effects of the nonparametric estimator on the variable selection for the parameters components.Under some regularity conditions,the rate of convergence and asymptotic normality of the resulting estimators are established.In addition,to improve efficiency for regression coefficients,the estimation of the working covariance matrix is involved in the proposed iterative algorithm.Some simulation studies are carried out to demonstrate that the proposed method performs well.

Precise asymptotics of error variance estimator in partially linear models

In this paper, we focus our attention on the precise asymptotics of error variance estimator in partially linear regression models, y _i = x _i ^τ β + g(t _i ) + ε _i , 1 ≤ i ≤ n, {ε _i , i = 1, ⋯ n} are i.i.d random errors with mean 0 and positive finite variance σ ². Following the ideas of Allan Gut and Aurel Spătaru^[7,8] and Zhang^[21], on precise asymptotics in the Baum-Katz and Davis laws of large numbers and precise rate in laws of the iterated logarithm, respectively, and subject to some regular conditions, we obtain the corresponding results in partially linear regression models.

The semiparametric varying-coefficient partially linear regression model which is a generalization of the partially linear regression model and varying-coefficient regression model that allows one to explore the possibly nonlinear effect of a certain covariate on the response variable. A Sieve maximum likelihood estimation method is proposed and the asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators are discussed.

Statistical inference of partially specified spatial autoregressive model

This paper studies estimation of a partially specified spatial autoregressive model with heteroskedasticity error term. Under the assumption of exogenous regressors and exogenous spatial weighting matrix, the unknown parameter is estimated by applying the instrumental variable estimation. Under certain sufficient conditions, the proposed estimator for the finite dimensional parameters is shown to be root-n consistent and asymptotically normally distributed; The proposed estimator for the unknown function is shown to be consistent and asymptotically distributed as well, though at a rate slower than root-n. Consistent estimators for the asymptotic variance-covariance matrices of both estimators are provided. Monte Carlo simulations suggest that the proposed procedure has some practical value.     

Statistical inference for panel data semiparametric partially linear regression models with heteroscedastic errors

We consider a panel data semiparametric partially linear regression model with an unknown parameter vector for the linear parametric component, an unknown nonparametric function for the nonlinear component, and a one-way error component structure which allows unequal error variances (referred to as heteroscedasticity). We develop procedures to detect heteroscedasticity and one-way error component structure, and propose a weighted semiparametric least squares estimator (WSLSE) of the parametric component in the presence of heteroscedasticity and/or one-way error component structure. This WSLSE is asymptotically more efficient than the usual semiparametric least squares estimator considered in the literature. The asymptotic properties of the WSLSE are derived. The nonparametric component of the model is estimated by the local polynomial method. Some simulations are conducted to demonstrate the finite sample performances of the proposed testing and estimation procedures. An example of application on a set of panel data of medical expenditures in Australia is also illustrated.     

Tests for nonparametric parts on partially linear single index models

Tests for nonparametric parts on partially linear single index models are considered in this paper. Based on the estimates obtained by the local linear method, the generalized likelihood ratio tests for the models are established. Under the null hypotheses the normalized tests follow asymptotically the χ2-distribution with the scale constants and the degrees of freedom being independent of the nuisance parameters, which is called the Wilks phenomenon. A simulated example is used to evaluate the performances of the testing procedures empirically.
