Abstract

This article discusses local regression models, that is, regression models where the parameters are allowed to vary with some covariates either in a completely unrestricted fashion or in an intermediate way with some exclusion restrictions that make some parameters vary only with some covariates. Special cases are nonparametric regression and additively separable nonparametric regression.
