Abstract
Consider the semiparametric transformation model Λθο(Y) = m(X)+ε, where θο is an unknown finite dimensional parameter, the functions Λ θ ο and m are smooth, ε is independent of X, and (ε) = 0 We propose a kernel-type estimator of the density of the error ε, and prove its asymptotic normality. The estimated errors, which lie at the basis of this estimator, are obtained from a profile likelihood estimator of θο and a nonparametric kernel estimator of m. The practical performance of the proposed density estimator is evaluated in a simulation study.
