NON AND SEMI-PARAMETRIC ESTIMATION IN MODELS WITH UNKNOWN SMOOTHNESS

Departmental Working Papers from McGill University, Department of Economics
Abstract:
Many asymptotic results for kernel-based estimators were established under some smoothness assumption on density. For cases where smoothness assumptions that are used to derive unbiasedness or asymptotic rate may not hold we propose a combined estimator that could lead to the best available rate without knowledge of density smoothness. A Monte Carlo example confirms good performance of the combined estimator.
