Generalized single-index models are natural extensions of linear models and circumvent the so-called curse of dimensionality. They are becoming increasingly popular in many scientific fields including biostatistics, medicine, economics and financial econometrics. Estimating and testing the model...

In this paper, a two-stage estimation method for non-parametric additive models is investigated. Differing from Horowitz and Mammen's two-stage estimation, our first-stage estimators are designed not only for dimension reduction but also as initial approximations to all of the additive...

In this paper, we investigate the empirical likelihood for constructing a confidence region of the parameter of interest in a multi-link semiparametric model when an infinite-dimensional nuisance parameter exists. The new model covers the commonly used varying coefficient, generalized linear,...

Quantile regression is in the focus of many estimation techniques and is an important tool in data analysis. When it comes to nonparametric specifications of the conditional quantile (or more generally tail) curve one faces, as in mean regression, a dimensionality problem. We propose a...

Motivated by increment process modeling for two correlated random and non-random systems from a discrete-time asset pricing with both risk free asset and risky security, we propose a class of semiparametric regressions for a combination of a non-random and a random system. Unlike classical...
