Semiparametric EIV Regression Model with Unknown Errors in all Variables
Abstract
This paper develops a method for semiparametric
partially linear regression model when all variables measured errors whose
densities are unknown. Identification is achieved using the availability of two
error-contaminated measurements of the independent variables. This method is
likened to kernel deconvolution method which relies on the assumption that
measurement errors densities are known. However with this deconvolution method,
convergence rates are very slow. Hence, estimating a regression function with
super smooth errors is extremely difficult and in literature the authors only
have studied the case that the errors are ordinary smooth. We could tackle this
problem with the Fourier representation of the Nadaraya-Watson estimator,
because this method can handle both of super smooth and ordinary smooth
distributions. In literature studying asymptotic normality also has difficulty
because of the same smoothing problem. With this study we could manage to show
asymptotic normality of parametric part. Monte Carlo experiments demonstrated
the performances of B and g(x*) in the
application part.
