This paper describes an estimator of the additive components of a nonparametric additive model with a known link function. When the additive components are twice continuously differentiable, the estimator is asymptotically normally distributed with a rate of convergence in probability of n -2/5...

We study the estimation of the additive components in additive regression models, based on the weighted sample average of regression surface, for stationary [alpha]-mixing processes. Explicit expression of this method makes possible a fast computation and allows an asymptotic analysis. The...

A central limit theorem for the weighted integrated squared error of kernel type estimators of the first two derivatives of a nonparametric regression function is proved by using results for martingale differences and U-statistics. The results focus on the setting of the Nadaraya-Watson...

We consider an additive model with second order interaction terms. It is shown how the components of this model can be estimated using marginal integration, and the asymptotic distribution of the estimators is derived. Moreover, two test statistics for testing the presence of interactions are...

Motivated by a nonparametric GARCH model we consider nonparametric additive regression and autoregression models in the special case that the additive components are linked parametrically. We show that the parameter can be estimated with parametric rate and give the normal limit. Our procedure...

Additive regression models have a long history in nonparametric regression. It is well known that these models can be estimated at the one dimensional rate. Until recently, however, these models have been estimated by a backfitting procedure. Although the procedure converges quickly, its...

We derive the asymptotic distribution of a new backfitting procedure for estimating the closest additive approximation to a nonparametric regression function. The procedure employs a recent projection interpretation of popular kernel estimators provided by Mammen et al. (1997), and the...
