A profile least-squares technique for estimating the parametric part is proposed and the asymptotic normality of the profile least-squares estimator is given. Based on the estimator, a generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) test is proposed to test whether parameters on linear part for the model is under a contain linear restricted condition. Under the null model, the proposed GLR statistic follows asymptotically the χ2-distribution with the scale constant and degree of freedom independent of the nuisance parameters, known as Wilks phenomenon. Both simulated and real data examples are used to illustrate our proposed methods.展开更多

In this paper we propose a mixture model in which the responses follow a semiparametric varying coefficient random effects model and some of the regression coefficients depend on the dropout time in a non-parametric way. The local linear version of the profile-kernel method is used to estimate the parameters of the model. The proposed estimators are shown to be consistent and asymptotically normal, and the finite performance of the estimators is evaluated by numerical simulation.展开更多
