Title: | Estimation of a semiparametric transformation model | Authors: | LINTON, O. SPERLICH, S. VAN KEILEGOM, Ingrid |
Issue Date: | 2008 | Publisher: | INST MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS | Source: | ANNALS OF STATISTICS, 36(2). p. 686-718 | Abstract: | This paper proposes consistent estimators for transformation parameters in semiparametric models. The problem is to find the optimal transformation into the space of models with a predetermined regression structure like additive or multiplicative separability. We give results for the estimation of the transformation when the rest of the model is estimated non- or semi-parametrically and fulfills some consistency conditions. We propose two methods for the estimation of the transformation parameter maximizing a profile likelihood function or minimizing the mean squared distance from independence. First the problem of identification of such models is discussed. We then state asymptotic results for a general class of nonparametric estimators. Finally, we give some particular examples of nonparametric estimators of transformed separable models. The small sample performance is studied in several simulations. | Notes: | [Linton, Oliver] London Sch Econ, Dept Econ, London WC2A 2AE, England.
