A new local estimation method for single index models for longitudinal data, Journal of Nonparametric Statistics, 28:3, 644-658, Single index models are natural extensions of linear models and overcome the so-called curse of dimensionality. They are very useful for longitudinal data analysis. In this paper, we develop a new efficient estimation procedure for single index models with longitudinal data, based on Cholesky decomposition and local linear smoothing method. Asymptotic normality for the proposed estimators of both the parametric and nonparametric parts will be established. Monte Carlo simulation studies show excellent finite sample performance. Furthermore, we illustrate our methods with a real data example.
In this note, we consider the situation where we have a functional predictor as well as some more traditional scalar predictors, which we call the partially functional problem. We propose a semiparametric model based on sufficient dimension reduction, and thus our main interest is in dimension reduction although prediction can be carried out at a second stage. We establish root-n consistency of the linear part of the estimator. Some Monte Carlo studies are carried out as proof of concept.
