Efficient estimation for semivarying-coefficient models
半变系数模型的有效估计
Motivated by two practical problems, we propose a new procedure for estimating a semivarying‐coefficient model. Asymptotic properties are established which show that the bias of the parameter estimator is of order h3 when a symmetric kernel is used, where h is the bandwidth, and the variance is of order n−1 and efficient in the semiparametric sense. Undersmoothing is unnecessary for the root‐n consistency of the estimators. Therefore, commonly used bandwidth selection…
