Filters constructed on the basis of standard local polynomial regression (LPR) methods have been used in the literature to estimate the business cycle. We provide a frequency domain interpretation of the contrast filter obtained by the difference of a series and its long-run LPR component and...

Incluye bibliografía ; Los filtros construidos a partir de métodos de regresión polinómica local (LPR) han sido utilizados en la literatura para estimar el ciclo económico. En este trabajo se proporciona una interpretación en el dominio de frecuencias del filtro de contraste obtenido como...

In this paper, we consider three major types of nonparametric regression tests that are based on kernel and local polynomial smoothing techniques. Their asymptotic power comparisons are established systematically under the fixed and contiguous alternatives, and are also illustrated through...

This paper proposes a semiparametric local polynomial estimator for modelling agricultural time-series. We consider the modelling of the crop yield variable according to determined financial risk factors in Turkey. The derivation of a semiparametric local polynomial estimator is provided with...
