Higher-order refinements of small bandwidth asymptotics for density-weighted average derivative estimators
密度加权平均导数估计量的小带宽渐近理论的高阶改进
The density weighted average derivative (DWAD) of a regression function is a canonical parameter of interest in economics. Classical first-order large sample distribution theory for kernel-based DWAD estimators relies on tuning parameter restrictions and model assumptions that imply an asymptotic linear representation of the point estimator. These conditions can be restrictive, and the resulting distributional approximation may not be representative of the actual sampling…
