Identification and inference for semiparametric single index transformation models
半参数单指标变换模型的识别与推断
This paper considers a semiparametric single index model in which the dependent variable is subject to a nonparametric transformation. The model has the form G0(Y)=g0(X⊤θ0)+e, where X is a random vector of regressors, Y is the dependent variable and e is the random noise, the monotonic function G0, the smooth function g0 and the index vector θ0 are all unknown. This model is quite general in the sense that it nests many popular regression models as special cases. We first…
