Abstract:	This paper considers a nonparametric varying coefficient model in a longitudinal data setting. An estimating procedure which accounts for the dependency of within subject responses is presented. The major gain is in the improvement of estimation efficiency. Asymptotic properties of this estimator are provided. The numerical efficacy of the proposed methodology is demonstrated through a small simulation study and the analysis of a real dataset.
