Abstract

The single-index model is an important tool in multivariate nonparametric regression. This paper deals with M-estimators for the single-index model. Unlike the existing M-estimator for the single-index model, the unknown link function is approximated by B-spline and M-estimators for the parameter and the nonparametric component are obtained in one step. The proposed M-estimator of unknown function is shown to attain the convergence rate as that of the optimal global rate of convergence of estimators for nonparametric regression according to Stone (Ann Stat 8:1348–1360, 1980 ; Ann Stat 10:1040–1053, 1982 ), and the M-estimator of parameter is $$\sqrt{n}$$ -consistent and asymptotically normal. A small sample simulation study showed that the M-estimators proposed in this paper are robust. An application to real data illustrates the estimator’s usefulness.
