Normality and independence of error terms are typical assumptions for partial linear models. However, these assumptions may be unrealistic in many fields, such as economics, finance and biostatistics. In this paper, a Bayesian analysis for partial linear model with first-order autoregressive...

Calibration and prediction for NIR spectroscopy data are performed based on a functional interpretation of the Beer-Lambert formula. Considering that, for each chemical sample, the resulting spectrum is a continuous curve obtained as the summation of overlapped absorption spectra from each...

Various features of econometric data can be analyzed by non-parametric approach. This review summarizes some of the most important procedures in curve estimation that has been very useful in the field of econometrics. Specifically, it describes the theory and the applications of non-parametric...

Nonparametric density estimation is of great importance when econometricians want to model the probabilistic or stochastic structure of a data set. This comprehensive review summarizes the most important theoretical aspects of kernel density estimation and provides an extensive description of...
