Estimation and hypothesis test for partial linear multiplicative models. (English) Zbl 06957706
Summary: Estimation and hypothesis tests for partial linear multiplicative models are considered in this paper. A profile least product relative error estimation method is proposed to estimate unknown parameters. We employ the smoothly clipped absolute deviation penalty to do variable selection. A Wald-type test statistic is proposed to test a hypothesis on parametric components. The asymptotic properties of the estimators and test statistics are established. We also suggest a score-type test statistic for checking the validity of partial linear multiplicative models. The quadratic form of the scaled test statistic has an asymptotic chi-squared distribution under the null hypothesis and follows a non-central chi-squared distribution under local alternatives, converging to the null hypothesis at a parametric convergence rate. We conduct simulation studies to demonstrate the performance of the proposed procedure and a real data is analyzed to illustrate its practical usage.
