IDENTIFICATION AND ESTIMATION BY PENALIZATION IN NONPARAMETRIC INSTRUMENTAL REGRESSION
研究了在条件矩约束下非参数回归函数的惩罚估计,当回归函数不可识别时分析估计量的收敛速度,并探讨修改惩罚项(加入导数)对识别和收敛速度的影响。
The nonparametric estimation of a regression function from conditional moment restrictions involving instrumental variables is considered. The rate of convergence of penalized estimators is studied in the case where the regression function is not identified from the conditional moment restriction. We also study the gain of modifying the penalty in the estimation, considering derivatives in the penalty. We analyze the effect of this modification on the identification of the regression function and the rate of convergence of its estimator.
