Estimation and testing for varying coefficients in additive models with marginal integration

Yang, Lijian; Härdle, Wolfgang; Park, Byeong U. - 2002

We propose marginal integration estimation and testing methods for the coefficients of varying coefficient multivariate regression model. Asymptotic distribution theory is developed for the estimation method which enjoys the same rate of convergence as univariate function estimation. For the...

Self-rated and changes in self-rated health as predictors of mortality : first evidence from german panel data

Schwarze, Johannes; Andersen, Hanfried H.; Anger, Silke - 2002

Background: Studies from several countries have shown that self-rated health is an independent predictor of mortality … individuals and (ii) changes in self-rated health, as predictors of mortality for Germany. Methods: A sub-sample of 3 … in self-rated health on predictions of mortality. Results: We find that, while currently self-rated health is shown to be …

Notes on an endogenous growth model with two capital stocks i : the deterministic case

Bethmann, Dirk - 2002

This paper extends the class of AK models with an explicit solution to the case where there are two capital goods in the model. this extension holds, even if an external effect in the use of human capital in goods production ia assumed.

Neoclassical convergence versus technological catch-up : a contribution for reaching a consensus

Desdoigts, Alain - 2000

New macro empirical evidence is provided to assess the relative importance of object and idea gaps in explaining the world income distribution dynamics. Formal statistical hypothesis tests allow us to discriminate between two competing growthmodels: (i) the standard neoclassical growth model...

Nonparametric estimation and testing of interaction in additive models

Sperlich, Stefan; Tjostheim, Dag; Yang, Lijian - 1998

We consider an additive model with second order interaction terms. It is shown how the components of this model can be estimated using marginal integration, and the asymptotic distribution of the estimators is derived. Moreover, two test statistics for testing the presence of interactions are...

Regression and contrast estimated based on adaptive regressograms depending on qualitative explanatory variables

Bunke, Olaf; Castell, Ernestina - 1998

This methodological paper discusses the application of "adaptive" non-parametric procedures for estimating regression functions or contrasts in situations with quantitative regressands and qualitative regressors. We propose to apply an adaptive regressogram, that is the selection of a...
