Adaptive varying-coefficient linear models for stochastic processes: Asymptotic theory

Research output: Journal Publications and ReviewsRGC 21 - Publication in refereed journalpeer-review

Abstract

We establish the asymptotic theory for the estimation of adaptive varying-coefficient linear models. More specifically, we show that the estimator of the index parameter is root-n-consistent. It differs from the locally optimal estimator that has been proposed in the literature with a prerequisite that the estimator is within a n-distance of the true value. To this end, we establish two fundamental lemmas for the asymptotic properties of the estimators of parametric components in a general semiparametric setting. Furthermore, the estimation for the coefficient functions is asymptotically adaptive to the unknown index parameter. Asymptotic properties are derived using the empirical process theory for strictly stationary β-mixing processes.
