Abstract

We consider the estimation and hypothesis test for single-index model by proposing a profile mean squares relative error estimation method, coupling with a leave-one-component-out method. The asymptotic normality for the PMSRE estimator is studied. For the hypothesis test of the single-index parameter, a restricted estimator under the null hypothesis and test statistics are proposed. The asymptotic properties for the restricted estimator and test statistic are established. Lastly, we make some comparisons between the proposed estimator and the profile least squares estimator and the profile least product relative estimator through the simulation. Our simulation studies indicate that the profile mean squares relative error estimator provides a better alternative under some settings, particularly for multimodal or asymmetric distributions of the error term.
