Title
Adaptive confidence region for the direction in semiparametric regressions
Abstract
In this paper we aim to construct adaptive confidence region for the direction of @x in semiparametric models of the form Y=G(@x^TX,@e) where G(@?) is an unknown link function, @e is an independent error, and @x is a p"nx1 vector. To recover the direction of @x, we first propose an inverse regression approach regardless of the link function G(@?); to construct a data-driven confidence region for the direction of @x, we implement the empirical likelihood method. Unlike many existing literature, we need not estimate the link function G(@?) or its derivative. When p"n remains fixed, the empirical likelihood ratio without bias correlation can be asymptotically standard chi-square. Moreover, the asymptotic normality of the empirical likelihood ratio holds true even when the dimension p"n follows the rate of p"n=o(n^1^/^4) where n is the sample size. Simulation studies are carried out to assess the performance of our proposal, and a real data set is analyzed for further illustration.
