The additive model is an effective dimension-reduction approach that also provides flexibility in modeling the relation between a response variable and key covariates. The literature is largely developed to scalar response and vector covariates. In this article, more complex data are of...

Bayesian information criterion (BIC) is known to identify the true model consistently as long as the predictor dimension is finite. Recently, its moderate modifications have been shown to be consistent in model selection even when the number of variables diverges. Those works have been done...
