Abstract

We propose in this article a novel dimension reduction method for varying coefficient models. The proposed method explores the rank reducible structure of those varying coefficients, hence, can do dimension reduction and semiparametric estimation, simultaneously. As a result, the new method not only improves estimation accuracy but also facilitates practical interpretation. To determine the structure dimension, a consistent BIC criterion is developed. Numerical experiments are also presented.

Keywords: BI; dimension reduction, semiparametric estimation, rank reducible varying coefficient model, varying coefficient model
