For multivariate regressors, integrating the Nadaraya-Watson regression smoother produces estimators of the lower-dimensional marginal components that are asymptotically normally distributed, at the optimal rate of convergence. Some heuristics, based on consistency of the pilot estimator,...

While today linear mixed effects models are frequently used tools in different fields of statistics, in particular for studying data with clusters, longitudinal or multi-level structure, the nonparametric formulation of mixed effects models is still quite recent. In this paper we discuss and...

A new estimation procedure for a partial linear additive model with censored responses is proposed. To this aim, ideas of Lewbel and Linton [A. Lewbel, O. Linton, Nonparametric censored and truncated regression, Econometrica 70 (2002) 765-779] on censored model regression are combined with those...
