Convergence and Consistency Results for Self-Modeling Nonlinear Regression
自建模非线性回归的收敛与一致性结果
This paper is concerned with parametric regression models of the form $Y_{ij} = f(t_{ij}, \theta_i) + \text{error}, i = 1, \ldots, n, j = 1, \ldots, T_i$, where the continuous function $f$ may depend nonlinearly on the known regressors $t_{ij}$ and the unknown parameter vectors $\theta_i$. The assumption of an a priori known $f$ is dropped and replaced by the requirement that qualitative information about the structure of the model is available or can be generated by a…
