We consider statistical inference for additive partial linear models when the linear covariate is measured with error. We propose attenuation-to-correction and simulation-extrapolation, simex, estimators of the parameter of interest. It is shown that the first resulting estimator is...

We study the asymptotic behaviour of penalized spline estimators in the univariate case. We use B-splines and a penalty is placed on mth-order differences of the coefficients. The number of knots is assumed to converge to infinity as the sample size increases. We show that penalized splines...

Penalised-spline-based additive models allow a simple mixed model representation where the variance components control departures from linear models. The smoothing parameter is the ratio of the random-coefficient and error variances and tests for linear regression reduce to tests for zero...
