Re-weighting estimation of the coefficients in the varying coefficient model with heteroscedastic errors
Abstract:ABSTRACT

This article explores the estimation problem of the coefficients in the varying coefficient model with heteroscedastic errors. Specifically, we first present a method for estimating the variance function of the error term and the resulting estimator is proved to be consistent. Then, motivated by the generalized least-squares procedure for dealing with heteroscedasticity in the linear regression literature, we re-weight each squared residual term in the local linear smoother with the inverse of the corresponding estimated error variance to construct estimates of the coefficients. Simulation experiments and practical data analysis conducted demonstrate that the re-weighting approach can improve the accuracy of the coefficient estimates under a finite sample size, especially when the error heteroscedasticity is strong.
Keywords:Varying coefficient model  heteroscedasticity  local linear smoothing  re-weightingestimation
