Abstract
In partially linear single-index models, we obtain the semiparametrically efficient profile least-squares estimators of regression coefficients. We also employ the smoothly clipped absolute deviation penalty (SCAD) approach to simultaneously select variables and estimate regression coefficients. We show that the resulting SCAD estimators are consistent and possess the oracle property. Subsequently, we demonstrate that a proposed tuning parameter selector, BIC, identifies the true model consistently. Finally, we develop a linear hypothesis test for the parametric coefficients and a goodness-of-fit test for the nonparametric component, respectively. Monte Carlo studies are also presented.

An updated review of Goodness-of-Fit tests for regression models

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a survey of the developments on Goodness-of-Fit for regression models during the last 20 years, from the very first origins with the idea of the tests for density and distribution, until the most recent advances for complex data and models.

Analysis of schizophrenia data using a nonlinear threshold index logistic model

TL;DR: The empirical findings provide evidence that the proposed nonlinear models well outperform the widely used linear and tree based logistic regression models in class prediction of schizophrenia risk with SNP data in terms of both Types I/II error rates and ROC curves.

Varying index coefficient models

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new class of semiparametric models with varying index coefficients, which enables them to model and assess nonlinear interaction effects between grouped covariates on the response variable, and developed a numerically stable and computationally fast estimation procedure using both profile least squares method and local fitting.

Estimation in Partially Linear Single-Index Panel Data Models With Fixed Effects

TL;DR: In this article, a semi-parametric minimum average variance estimation (SMAVE) based on a dummy variable method was proposed to obtain consistent estimators for both the parameters and the unknown link function.

Regression Shrinkage and Selection via the Lasso

TL;DR: A new method for estimation in linear models called the lasso, which minimizes the residual sum of squares subject to the sum of the absolute value of the coefficients being less than a constant, is proposed.

Information Theory and an Extention of the Maximum Likelihood Principle

TL;DR: The classical maximum likelihood principle can be considered to be a method of asymptotic realization of an optimum estimate with respect to a very general information theoretic criterion to provide answers to many practical problems of statistical model fitting.

Variable Selection via Nonconcave Penalized Likelihood and its Oracle Properties

TL;DR: In this article, penalized likelihood approaches are proposed to handle variable selection problems, and it is shown that the newly proposed estimators perform as well as the oracle procedure in variable selection; namely, they work as well if the correct submodel were known.
