In this paper, we consider the nonparametric random regression model $Y=f_1(X_1)+f_2(X_2)+\epsilon$ and address the problem of estimating the function $f_1$. The term $f_2(X_2)$ is regarded as a nuisance term which can be considerably more…

Quantile regression is a powerful tool for detecting exposure-outcome associations given covariates across different parts of the outcome's distribution, but has two major limitations when the aim is to infer the effect of an exposure.…

It is possible to approach regression analysis with random covariates from a semiparametric perspective where information is combined from multiple multivariate sources. The approach assumes a semiparametric density ratio model where…
