Finite sample performance of nonparametric regression estimators : the case of additive and parametric covariance models

Creator:

Yang, Ke

Abstract:

This dissertation is composed of three essays regarding the finite sample properties of estimators for nonparametric models. In the first essay we investigate the finite sample performances of four estimators for additive nonparametric regression models - the backfitting B-estimator, the marginal integration M-estimator and two versions of a two stage...
