Doubly-nonparametric generalized additive models

Methodology 2017-09-18 v2

Abstract

The popular generalized additive model framework is extended to allow both the mean curves and the response distribution to be nonparametric. The approach is demonstrated to be a flexible yet parsimonious tool for data analysis in its own right, as well as being a useful tool for model selection and diagnosis in the classical generalized additive model framework. Finite-sample performance of the method is examined via various simulation settings and the method is illustrated on two data analysis examples.
