In this paper we develop a nonparametric estimation technique for semiparametric transformation models of the form: H(Y)=P(Z)+X'B+U where H,P and B and are unknown and the variables (Y,Z) are endogenous. Identification of the model and asymptotic properties of the estimator are analyzed under...

This study examines different regularization approaches to investigate the solution stability of the method of fundamental solutions (MFS). We compare three regularization methods in conjunction with two different regularization parameters to find the optimal stable MFS scheme. Meanwhile, we...

In the literature on regularization, many different parameter choice methods have been proposed in both deterministic and stochastic settings. However, based on the available information, it is not always easy to know how well a particular method will perform in a given situation and how it...
