This paper is the attempt to summarize the state of art in additive and generalized additive models (GAM). The emphasis is on approaches and numerical procedures which have emerged since the monograph of Hastie and Tibshirani (1990) although reconsidering certain aspects of their work. Apart...

Models are studied where the response Y and covariates X, T are assumed to fulfill E(Y|X; T) = G{XT β + α + m1(T1) + … + md(Td)}. Here G is a known (link) function, β is an unknown parameter, and m1, …, md are unknown functions. In particular, we consider additive binary response models...

A particular semiparametric model of interest is the generalized partial linear model (GPLM) which allows a nonparametric modeling of the influence of the continuous covariables. The paper reviews different estimation procedures based on kernel methods and test procedures on the correct...

We consider the partially linear model relating a response Y to predictors (X,T) with mean function XT β + g(T) when the T's are measured with additive error. We derive an estimator of β by modification local-likelihood method. The resulting estimator of β is shown to be asymptotically...
