Semiparametric inference for partially linear regressions with Box-Cox transformation
In this paper, a semiparametric partially linear model in the spirit of Robinson (1988) with Box- Cox transformed dependent variable is studied. Transformation regression models are widely used in applied econometrics to avoid misspecification. In addition, a partially linear semiparametric model is an intermediate strategy that tries to balance advantages and disadvantages of a fully parametric model and nonparametric models. A combination of transformation and partially linear semiparametric model is, thus, a natural strategy. The model parameters are estimated by a semiparametric extension of the so called smooth minimum distance (SmoothMD) approach proposed by Lavergne and Patilea (2013). SmoothMD is suitable for models defined by conditional moment conditions and allows the variance of the error terms to depend on the covariates. In addition, here we allow for infinite-dimension nuisance parameters. The asymptotic behavior of the new SmoothMD estimator is studied under general conditions and new inference methods are proposed. A simulation experiment illustrates the performance of the methods for finite samples.

Deep Partially Linear Transformation Model for Right-Censored Survival Data
Although the Cox proportional hazards model is well established and extensively used in the analysis of survival data, the proportional hazards (PH) assumption may not always hold in practical scenarios. The semiparametr…
Debiased Machine Learning of Set-Identified Linear Models
This paper provides estimation and inference methods for an identified set's boundary (i.e., support function) where the selection among a very large number of covariates is based on modern regularized tools. I character…
