Opis

Adonis Yatchew provides simple and flexible (nonparametric) techniques for analyzing regression data.

Recenzje

"A concise self-contained treatment of nonparametric and seminonparametric regression models and their applications in econometrics. It is written in an accessible style and provides key intuition for nonparametric and seminonparametric regression methods in a cross-sectional, essentially independently distributed, setting. Well-explained theoretical ideas are illustrated by many real-data examples and exercises, mainly from the field of applied microeconometrics."
Fabio Trojani, University of St. Gallen, Journal of the American Statistician
