In this article, we describe the implementation of fitting partially linear functional-coefficient panel models with fixed effects proposed by An, Hsiao, and Li [2016, Semiparametric estimation of partially linear varying coefficient panel data models in Essays in Honor of Aman Ullah ( Advances in Econometrics, Volume 36)] and Zhang and Zhou (Forthcoming, Econometric Reviews). Three new commands xtplfc, ivxtplfc, and xtdplfc are introduced and illustrated through Monte Carlo simulations to exemplify the effectiveness of these estimators.

This paper proposed a panel data clustering model based on D-vine and C-vine and supported a semiparametric estimation for parameters. These models include a two-step inference function for margins, two-step semiparameter estimation, and stepwise semiparametric estimation. In similarity measurement, similarity coefficients are constructed by a multivariate Hierarchical Nested Archimedean Copula (HNAC) model and compound PCC models, which are HNAC and D-vine compound model and HNAC and C-vine compound model. Estimation solutions and models evaluation are given for these models. In the case study, the clustering results of HNAC and D-vine compound model and HNAC and C-vine compound model are given, and the effect of different copula families on clustering results is also discussed. The result shows the models are effective and useful.

This article is concerned with semiparametric estimation of a partially linear transformation model under conditional quantile restriction with no parametric restriction imposed either on the link functional form or on the error term distribution. We describe for the finite-dimensional parameter a$\sqrt n$-consistent estimator which combines the features of Chen (2010)’s maximum integrated score estimator as well as Lee (2003)’s average quantile regression. We show the remaining two infinite-dimensional unknown functions in the model can be separately identified and propose estimators for these functions based on the marginal integration method. Furthermore, a simple approach is proposed to estimate the average partial quantile effect. Two important extensions, i.e., random censoring as well as estimating a transformation model with an endogenous regressor are also considered.

A curriculum does not exist in a void; internal members play a key role in responding to the different forces that continually shape it. One of the approaches to evaluation is through internal evaluation from the perspective of the inside members who work with the curriculum. However, the internal evaluation may pose restricted evaluation due to the innate subjective human judgment. Considering these contexts, this paper performed a pilot internal evaluation of a selected aspect of a higher education curriculum using a triangulation mixed method design called the data transformation model. Based on the results, the evaluation using the data transformation model probed important points of agreement and discrepancy in the data sets. The implications for evaluation theory and curriculum practice are discussed. It is suggested that an extension of the current formative internal evaluation continuing the tradition of data transformative model but progressively focusing on larger aspects of the curriculum should be further conducted.
