''Uniform in Bandwidth Consistency of Smooth Varying Coefficient Estimators''
( 2009, Vol. 29 No.3 )
 
 
We prove the strong consistency, uniformly in the bandwidth, of the smooth varying coefficient conditional least squares estimator. Our results justify data-driven choices of bandwidths, such as Silverman's rule-of thumb, or standard cross-validation, that are usually implemented by most practitioners.
