Models are studied where the response Y and covariates X, T are assumed to fulfill E(Y|X; T) = G{XT β + α + m1(T1) + … + md(Td)}. Here G is a known (link) function, β is an unknown parameter, and m1, …, md are unknown functions. In particular, we consider additive binary response models...

The dissertation consists of three essays. The main focus is set on semiparametric regression modeling, which embodies the strength of parametric and nonparametric regression models in terms of flexibility, dimensionality and interpretability. The first essay is “Some Recent Advances in...

This article gives the asymptotic properties for nonparametric kernel based density and regression estimators when one of the variables, respectively regressors, had to be pre-estimated. Those variables are known as constructed variables or generatedregressors, and their impact on the -nal...

In this article we highlight the main differences of available methods for the analysis of regression functions that are probably additive separable. We first discuss definition and interpretation of the most common estimators in practice. This is done by explaining the different ideas of...
