Generalized Ridge Estimation of a Semiparametric Regression Model

We considered the following semiparametric regres-sion model yi = X iT β+ s ( t i ) + ei (i =1,2,,n). First,the general-ized ridge estimators of both parameters and non-parameters are given without a restrained design matrix. Second,the generalized ridge estimator will be compared with the penalized least squares estimator under a mean squares error,and some conditions in which the former excels the latter are given. Finally,the validity and feasibility of the method is illustrated by a simulation example.
