Test for Varying-Coefficient Models with High-Dimensional Data
摘要
The authors consider the issue of hypothesis testing in varying-coefficient regression models with high-dimensional data. Utilizing kernel smoothing techniques, the authors propose a locally concerned U-statistic method to assess the overall significance of the coefficients. The authors establish that the proposed test is asymptotically normal under both the null hypothesis and local alternatives. Based on the locally concerned U-statistic, the authors further develop a globally concerned U-statistic to test whether the coefficient function is zero. A stochastic perturbation method is employed to approximate the distribution of the globally concerned test statistic. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate the validity of the proposed test in finite samples.
