Statistical inference for a varying-coefficient partially nonlinear model with measurement errors

摘要

In this study a varying-coefficient partially nonlinear model with measurement errors in the nonparametric part is proposed. Based on the corrected profile least-squared estimation methodology, we define the estimates of the unknowns of the current models, and check whether the coefficient functions are a constant or not by using the popular generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) test method. Further, the corresponding asymptotic distribution is established and a bootstrap procedure is also employed to implement the proposed methodology. Simulated and real examples are given to illustrate our proposed methodology. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
