Strong consistency of kernel estimator in a semiparametric regression model

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Estimating the effective dimension reduction (EDR) space, related to the semiparametric regression model introduced by Li cite{sir}, is based on the estimation of the covariance matrix Lambda of the conditional expectation of the vector of predictors given the response. An estimator widehatLambdan of Lambda based on kernel method was introduced by Zhu and Fang cite{Asymptotics} who then derived, under some conditions, the asymptotic distribution of sqrtnleft(widehatLambdan−Lambdaight), as nightarrow+infty. In this paper, we obtain, under specified conditions, the almost sure convergence of widehatLambdan to Lambda, as nightarrow+infty.
