We propose a new estimator for nonparametric regression based on local likelihood estimation using an estimated error score function obtained from the residuals of a preliminary nonparametric regression. We show that our estimator is asymptotically equivalent to the infeasible local maximum...

We introduce a nonparametric smoothing procedure for nonparametric factor analaysis of multivariate time series. The asymptotic properties of the proposed procedures are derived. We present an application based on the residuals from the Fair macromodel. -- Factor Analysis ; Time Series ; Kernel...

The paper derives an algorithm for computing leave-k-out diagnostics for the detection of patches of outliers for stationary and non-stationary state space models with regression effects. The algorithm is based on a reverse run of the Kalman filter on the smoothing errors and is both efficient...
