Nonparametric estimation of regression functions with discrete regressors
Ouyang, Desheng
Nonparametric estimation of regression functions with discrete regressors created by Desheng Ouyang, Qi Li and Jeffrey S. Racine - Econometric theory Volume 25, number 1 .
We consider the problem of estimating a nonparametric regression model containing categorical regressors only. We investigate the theoretical properties of least squares cross-validated smoothing parameter selection, establish the rate of convergence (to zero) of the smoothing parameters for relevant regressors, and show that there is a high probability that the smoothing parameters for irrelevant regressors converge to their upper bound values, thereby automatically smoothing out the irrelevant regressors. A small-scale simulation study shows that the proposed cross-validation-based estimator performs well in finite-sample settings.
