TLDR
In this article, Monte Carlo evidence on the fixed sample size properties of adaptive maximum likelihood estimates of a linear regression is reported, where the focus is on the problem of selecting the smoothing and trimming parameters used in estimating the score function.Abstract:
This paper reports Monte Carlo evidence on the fixed sample size properties of adaptive maximum likelihood estimates of a linear regression. The focus is on the problem of selecting the smoothing and trimming parameters used in estimating the score function. We examine the performance of adaptive maximum likelihood estimators when these parameters are preselected or, alternatively, are determined by a data-based bootstrap method.read more

A Smoothed Maximum Score Estimator for the Binary Response Model
TL;DR: In this paper, a semiparametric estimator for binary response models in which there may be arbitrary heteroskedasticity of unknown form is described. But the estimator is obtained by maximizing a smoothed version of the objective function of C. Manski's maximum score estimator.

Chapter 41 Estimation of semiparametric models
TL;DR: Semi-parametric models as mentioned in this paper combine a parametric form for some component of the data generating process (usually the behavioral relation between the dependent and explanatory variables) with weak nonparametric restrictions on the remainder of the model, usually the distribution of the unobservable errors.

Forecasting spot electricity prices: A comparison of parametric and semiparametric time series models
Rafał Weron,Adam Misiorek +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the performance of 12 time series methods for short-term (day-ahead) spot price forecasting in auction-type electricity markets, including spike preprocessed, threshold and semiparametric autoregressions, as well as mean-reverting jump diffusions.

Efficient instrumental variables estimation of nonlinear models
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that nonparametric estimates of the optimal instruments can give asymptotically efficient instrumental variables estimators for nonlinear models in an i.i.d. environment.
