Penalized Spline Estimation In The Partially Linear Model, Ashley D. Holland
Penalized Spline Estimation In The Partially Linear Model, Ashley D. Holland
Faculty Dissertations
Penalized spline estimators have received considerable attention in recent years because of their good finite-sample performance, especially when the dimension of the regressors is large. In this project, we employ penalized B-splines in the context of the partially linear model to estimate the nonparametric component, when both thenumber of knots and the penalty factor vary with the sample size. We obtain mean-square convergence rates and establish asymptotic distributional approximations, with valid standard errors, for the resulting multivariate estimators of both the parametric and nonparametric components in this model. Our results extend and complement the recent theoretical work in the literature …
