This paper deals with the conditional hazard estimator of a real response where the variable is given a functional random variable (i.e it takes values in an infinite-dimensional space). Specifically, we focus on the functional index model. This approach offers a good com- promise between...

We adapt Breiman's (1995) nonnegative garrote method to perform variable selection in nonparametric additive models. The technique avoids methods of testing for which no reliable distributional theory is available. In addition it removes the need for a full search of all possible models,...

This paper considers series estimators of additive interactive regression (AIR) models. AIR models are nonparametric regression models that generalize additive regression models by allowing interactions between different regressor variables. They place more restrictions on the regression...
