variable X beyond the linear approximation, we consider the single-index model, which is a
well-known approach in multidimensional cases. Specifically, we extend the partially linear
single-index model to take the form y= βT0 X+ φ (θT0 X)+ ε, where ε is a random variable
with Εε= 0 and var (ε)= σ2, unknown, β0 and θ0 are unknown parametric vectors and φ (.) is
an unknown real function. The model is also applicable to nonlinear time series analysis. In …
