Two-stage estimation and bias-corrected empirical likelihood in a partially linear single-index varying-coefficient model
部分线性单指标变系数模型的两阶段估计与偏差校正经验似然
Abstract The estimation and empirical likelihood (EL) of the parameters of interest in a partially linear single-index varying-coefficient model are studied. A two-stage method is presented to estimate the regression parameters and the coefficient functions. The asymptotic distributions of the proposed estimators are obtained. Meanwhile, a bias-corrected EL ratio for the regression parameters is proposed. It is shown that the ratio is asymptotically standard chi-squared. The…
