Abstract
In general, the regressor variables are stochastic, Duan and Li (1987, J. Econometrics, 35, 25–35), Li and Duan (1989, Ann. Statist., 17, 1009–1052) have been shown that under very general design conditions, the least squares method can still be useful in estimating the scaled regression coefficients of the semi-parametric model Y i =Q 1(α+βX i ;ɛ i , i+ 1,2,...,n. Here α is a constant, β is a 1×p row vector, X i is a p×1 column vector of explanatory variables, ɛ i is an unobserved random error and Q 1 is an arbitrary unknown function. When the data set (X i , Y i ),i=1, 2, ..., n, contains one or several outliers, the least squares method can not provide a consistent estimator of the scaled coefficients β. Therefore, we suggest the “fuzzy” weighted least squares method to estimate the scaled coefficients β for the data set with one or several outliers. It will be shown that the proposed “fuzzy” weighted least squares estimators are % MathType!MTEF!2!1!+-% feaafeart1ev1aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn% hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXafv3ySLgzGmvETj2BSbqefm0B1jxALjhiov2D% aebbfv3ySLgzGueE0jxyaibaiGc9yrFr0xXdbba91rFfpec8Eeeu0x% Xdbba9frFj0-OqFfea0dXdd9vqaq-JfrVkFHe9pgea0dXdar-Jb9hs% 0dXdbPYxe9vr0-vr0-vqpWqaaeaabiGaciaacaqabeaadaqaaqGaaO% qaamaakaaabaGaamOBaaWcbeaaaaa!3D3C!\[\sqrt n \] and asymptotically normal under very general design condition. Consistent measurement of the precision for the estimator is also given. Moreover, a limited Monte Carlo simulation and an example are used to study the practical performance of the procedures.
