Zhao, Pei Xin et Xue, Liu Gen, Variable selection for semiparametric varying-coefficient partially linear models with missing response at random, Acta mathematica Sinica. English series (Print) , 27(11), 2011, pp. 2205-2216
In this paper, we present a variable selection procedure by combining basis function approximations with penalized estimating equations for semiparametric varying-coefficient partially linear models with missing response at random. The proposed procedure simultaneously selects significant variables in parametric components and nonparametric components. With appropriate selection of the tuning parameters, we establish the consistency of the variable selection procedure and the convergence rate of the regularized estimators. A simulation study is undertaken to assess the finite sample performance of the proposed variable selection procedure.
