Library: plm
See also: plmlorg plmp

Quantlet: plmk
Description: plmk estimates the parameter part in partially linear models by using kernel to approximate the nonparametric part

Usage: res = plmk(x,t,y,h)
Input:
x n x p matrix, the design
t n x 1 matrix, the design in [0, 1]
y n x 1 matrix, the response
h p x 1 matrix or scalar, chosen bandwidth
Output:
res.hbeta p x 1 matrix, estimate of parameter
res.hsigma scalar, estimate of variance
res.hg n x 1 matrix, estimate of nonparameter function

Example:
library("plm")
n = 100
sig=0*matrix(3,3)
sig[,1]=#(0.81,0.1,0.2)
sig[,2]=#(0.1,2.25,0.1)
sig[,3]=#(0.2,0.1,1)
x =normal(n,3)*sig
t =sort(uniform(n))
beta0=#(1.2, 1.3, 1.4)  ; the true value
y =x*beta0+t^3+0.01*normal(n)
h =0.5
res=plmk(x,t,y,h)
res.hbeta               ; the estimate of beta
res.hsigma              ; the estimate of the variance when error is homoscedastic
ddp=createdisplay(1,1)
datah1=t~t^3
datah2=t~res.hg
part=grid(1,1,rows(t))'
setmaskp(datah1,1,0,1)
setmaskp(datah2,4,0,3)
setmaskl(datah1,part,1,1,1)
setmaskl(datah2,part,4,1,3)
show(ddp,1,1,datah1,datah2)
setgopt(ddp,1,1,"xlabel","T","title","Simulation comparison","ylabel","g(T) and its estimate values")
