Abstract:

Generalized additive models (GAM) have been popular in multivariate nonparametric regression with non-Gaussian responses including binary and count data. We propose spline-backfitted kernel (SBK) estimator for the GAM time series data with oracle efficiency. It is both computational expedient and theoretically reliable, thus usable for analyzing very high-dimensional time series and inference can be made on component functions with confidence. Simulation evidence strongly corroborates with the asymptotic theory.
