In this paper, we consider the problem of simultaneous variable selection and estimation for varying-coefficient partially linear models in a “small <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$n$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation>, large <InlineEquation ID="IEq2"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$p$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation>” setting, when the number of coefficients in the linear part diverges with sample size while the number of varying...</equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></inlineequation>
