Abstract
Tests for nonparametric parts on partially linear single index models are considered in this paper. Based on the estimates obtained by the local linear method, the generalized likelihood ratio tests for the models are established. Under the null hypotheses the normalized tests follow asymptotically the χ 2-distribution with the scale constants and the degrees of freedom being independent of the nuisance parameters, which is called the Wilks phenomenon. A simulated example is used to evaluate the performances of the testing procedures empirically.
