On the estimation of a semiparametric generalized linear model

by Magda M. Haggag.

Abstract: The algorithms for the estimation of the semiparametric generalized linear model are derived and developed for the case of a binary dependent variable. The estimation methods are based on using kernel smoothing functions in the estimation of the nonparametric component of the model.

Key Words: Backfitting estimator, generalized linear model, generalized partial linear model, kernel smoothing, profile-likelihood, quasi-likelihood, semiparametric estimation, Speckman estimator
