Abstract #303527

This is the preliminary program for the 2005 Joint Statistical Meetings in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Currently included in this program is the "technical" program, schedule of invited, topic contributed, regular contributed and poster sessions; Continuing Education courses (August 7-10, 2005); and Committee and Business Meetings. This on-line program will be updated frequently to reflect the most current revisions.

To View the Program:
You may choose to view all activities of the program or just parts of it at any one time. All activities are arranged by date and time.

Title: Nonlinear Varying Coefficient Models
Author(s): Yang Wang*+
Companies: The Pennsylvania State University
Address: 325 Thomas Building, University Park, PA, 16802, United States
Keywords: varying-coefficient ; nonlinear ; linear model
Abstract:

Varying-coefficient models were developed to relax strong statistical assumptions by allowing model coefficients to vary. Generalized linear varying-coefficient models were introduced and explored by Hastie and Tinshirani (1993). The efficient estimation procedure and asymptotic normality was developed by Ci, Fan, Li (2000). This talk will cover literature reviews and my research on the development of estimation of nonlinear varying-coefficient models using local polynomial techniques. We illustrate the estimation result by a nonlinear regression model example raised in an ecological study. Asymptotic properties of model estimators are projected.
