摘要:This paper studies semiparametric estimation of partially linear single index models with a monotone link function. Our estimator is an extension of the score-type estimator developed by Balabdaoui, Groeneboom and Hendrickx (2018) for monotone single index models, which profiles out the unknown link function by isotonic regression. An attractive feature of the proposed estimator is that it is free from tuning parameters for nonparametric smoothing. We show that our estimator for the finite-dimensional components is √ n-consistent and asymptotically normal. Furthermore, by introducing an additional smoothing to obtain the efficient score, we propose an asymptotically efficient estimator for the finite-dimensional components. A simulation study illustrates usefulness of the proposed method.
