On Strong Uniform Consistency of Conditional Hazard Function in the Functional Single-Index Model.

Abbes Rabhi, Naouel Belkhir, Sara Soltani

Abstract



In this paper we deal with nonparametric estimate of the conditional hazard function, when the covariate is functional. Kernel type estimators for the conditional hazard function are introduced of a scalar response variable Y given a Hilbertian random variable X when the observations are linked with a single-index structure. We establish the pointwise almost complete convergence and the uniform almost complete convergence (with the rate) of the kernel estimate of this model in various situations, including censored and non-censored data. The rates of convergence emphasize the crucial role played by the small ball proba-bilities with respect to the distribution of the explanatory functional variable.

Keywords


Censored data, conditional hazard function, functional single-index process, functional variable, nonparametric estimation, small ball probability.

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
