We consider estimation for a class of Lévy processes, modelled as a sum of a drift, a symmetric stable process and a compound Poisson process. We propose a nonparametric approach to estimating unknown parameters of our model, including the drift, the scale and index parameters in the stable...

In this paper we consider the problem of estimating nonparametric panel data models with fixed effects. We introduce an iterative nonparametric kernel estimator. We also extend the estimation method to the case of a semiparametric partially linear fixed effects model. To determine whether a...

Cost function estimation often involves data on a function and a family of its derivatives. Such data can substantially improve convergence rates of nonparametric estimators. We propose series-type estimators which incorporate the various derivative data into a single nonparametric least-squares...
