Many important models utilize estimation of average derivatives of the conditional mean function. Asymptotic results in the literature on density weighted average derivative estimators (ADE) focus on convergence at parametric rates; this requires making stringent assumptions on smoothness of the...

Many processes can be represented in a simple form as infinite-order linear series. In such cases, an approximate model is often derived as a truncation of the infinite-order process, for estimation on the finite sample. The literature contains a number of asymptotic distributional results for...

Regression models sometimes contain a linear parametric part and a part obtained by reducing the dimension of a larger set of data. This paper considers properties of estimates of the interpretable parameters of the model, in a general setting in which a potentially unbounded set of other...
