Abstract:

A semiparametric dimension reduction method is proposed to reconcile the nonparametric regression approach and the model-based approaches in estimating linear functionals with missing data. The linear functionals are estimated through nonparametric functionals estimation, where the dimension is reduced by a parametric working index. The proposed estimator is robust to model misspecification: it is always consistent either the selected probability is correctly specified or the working index can recover the conditional linear functionals given the covariates. In addition, when both above conditions are satisfied, the proposed estimator attains the optimal efficiency.
