Stuetzle and Mittal (1979) for ordinary nonparametric kernel regression and Kauermann and Tutz (1996) for nonparametric generalized linear model kernel regression constructed estimators with lower order bias than the usual estimators, without the need for devices such as second derivative...

A particular semiparametric model of interest is the generalized partial linear model (GPLM) which allows a nonparametric modeling of the influence of the continuous covariables. The paper reviews different estimation procedures based on kernel methods and test procedures on the correct...
