By selecting the significant variable and estimating the nonzero coefficient, the model structure specification is accomplished by introducing a novel penalized estimating equation.

A global smoothing procedure is developed by using B-spline function approximations for estimating the coefficient functions. Under mild regularity assumptions,the global convergence rates of the B-spline estimators of the unknown coefficient functions are established. Asymptotic results show that our B-spline estimators achieve the optimal convergence rate. The asymptotic distributions of the B-spline estimators of the unknown coefficient functions are also derived. A procedure for selecting smoothing parameters is given. Finite sample properties of our procedures are studied through Monte Carlo simulations.

The explicit chirped one- and two-soliton solutions are generated. As an example, an exponential distributed control system is considered, and some main features of solutions are shown. The results reveal that chirped soliton can all be nonlinearly compressed cleanly and efficiently in an optical fiber with no loss or gain, with the loss, or with the gain. Furthermore, under the same initial condition, compression of optical soliton in the optical fiber with the loss is the most dramatic. Also, under nonintegrable condition and finite initial perturbations, the evolution of chirped soliton has been demonstrated by simulating numerically.展开更多

First, we investigate estimation for varying coefficient partially linear models in which covariates in the nonparametric part are measured with errors. As there would be some spurious covariates in the linear part, a penalized profile least squares estimation is suggested with the assistance from smoothly clipped absolute deviation penalty. However, the estimator is often biased due to the existence of measurement errors, a bias correction is proposed such that the estimation consistency with the oracle property is proved. Second, based on the estimator, a test statistic is constructed to check a linear hypothesis of the parameters and its asymptotic properties are studied. We prove that the existence of measurement errors causes intractability of the limiting null distribution that requires a Monte Carlo approximation and the absence of the errors can lead to a chi-square limit. Furthermore, confidence regions of the parameter of interest can also be constructed. Simulation studies and a real data example are conducted to examine the performance of our estimators and test statistic.展开更多
