Local linear fitting is a popular nonparametric method in statistical and econometric modeling. Lu and Linton (2007, Econometric Theory23, 37–70) established the pointwise asymptotic distribution for the local linear estimator of a nonparametric regression function under the condition of near epoch dependence. In this paper, we further investigate the uniform consistency of this estimator. The uniform strong and weak consistencies with convergence rates for the local linear fitting are established under mild conditions. Furthermore, general results regarding uniform convergence rates for nonparametric kernel-based estimators are provided. The results of this paper will be of wide potential interest in time series semiparametric modeling.

AbstractThis paper presents a Bayesian sampling approach to bandwidth estimation for the local linear estimator of the regression function in a nonparametric regression model. In the Bayesian sampling approach, the error density is approximated by a location-mixture density of Gaussian densities with means the individual errors and variance a constant parameter. This mixture density has the form of a kernel density estimator of errors and is referred to as the kernel-form error density (c.f. Zhang, X., M. L. King, and H. L. Shang. 2014. “A Sampling Algorithm for Bandwidth Estimation in a Nonparametric Regression Model with a Flexible Error Density.” Computational Statistics & Data Analysis 78: 218–34.). While (Zhang, X., M. L. King, and H. L. Shang. 2014. “A Sampling Algorithm for Bandwidth Estimation in a Nonparametric Regression Model with a Flexible Error Density.” Computational Statistics & Data Analysis 78: 218–34) use the local constant (also known as the Nadaraya-Watson) estimator to estimate the regression function, we extend this to the local linear estimator, which produces more accurate estimation. The proposed investigation is motivated by the lack of data-driven methods for simultaneously choosing bandwidths in the local linear estimator of the regression function and kernel-form error density. Treating bandwidths as parameters, we derive an approximate (pseudo) likelihood and a posterior. A simulation study shows that the proposed bandwidth estimation outperforms the rule-of-thumb and cross-validation methods under the criterion of integrated squared errors. The proposed bandwidth estimation method is validated through a nonparametric regression model involving firm ownership concentration, and a model involving state-price density estimation.

In this paper, a nonparametric estimation of a generalized regression function is proposed. The real response random variable (r.v.) is subject to left-truncation by another r.v. while the covariate takes its values in an infinite dimensional space. Under standard assumptions, the pointwise and the uniform almost sure convergences, of the proposed estimator, are established
