We propose a general strategy for variable selection in semiparametric regression models by penalizing appropriate estimating functions. Important applications include semiparametric linear regression ...

A POWER series of the form?an(z - z0)n which converges at more than one point, converges inside a circle centre z0 and coincides with the series obtained by applying Taylor's theorem to the ...
