Generalized Additive Models with Unknown Link Function Including Variable Selection [PDF]
The generalized additive model is a well established and strong tool that allows to model smooth effects of predictors on the response. However, if the link function, which is typically chosen as the canonical link, is misspecified, substantial bias is ...

Nonparametric estimation of an additive quantile regression model [PDF]
This paper is concerned with estimating the additive components of a nonparametric additive quantile regression model. We develop an estimator that is asymptotically normally distributed with a rate of convergence in probability of n^{-r/(2+10)} when ...

Using flexible regression models for calculating hospital’s production functions
Background The relative lack of flexibility of parametric models has led to the development of nonparametric regression techniques based on the family of generalized additive models. However, despite the potential advantages of using Generalized Additive
