This paper considers a functional-coefficient spatial Durbin model with nonparametric spatial weights. Applying the series approximation method, we estimate the unknown functional coefficients and spatial weighting functions via a nonparametric two-stage least squares (or 2SLS) estimation...

The predictive capability of a modification of Rissanen's accumulated prediction error (APE) criterion, APE$_{\delta_{n}}$,is investigated in infinite-order autoregressive (AR($\infty$)) models. Instead of accumulating squares of sequential prediction errors from the beginning,...
