Efficient estimation of semiparametric varying-coefficient partially linear transformation model with current status data

Abstract

Throughout this section, we define the empirical process P n and P indexed by a function f (V ) asWe also define M n (θ) = P n l n (θ|V ) and M (θ) = P l n (θ|V ), where l n is given in (5). Let K, K 1 , K 2 and K 3 be generic constants. Without loss of generality, we assume in this section that a n = b n (the number of basis functions in constructing H and φ j , respectively).
