  • Three essays on nonparametric and semiparametric regression models

    Creator:
    Yao, Feng
    Abstract:
    This dissertation contains three essays on nonprametric and semiparametric regression mod- In the first essay, we propose an estimation procedure for value at risk (VaR) and expected shortfall (TailVaR.) for conditional distributions of a time series of returns on a financial asset. Our approach combines a local polynomial estimator of...
