Abstract
This paper considers the semiparametric regression model y i = x i β+g(t i )+V i (1 ≤ i ≤ n), where (x i , t i ) are known design points, β is an unknown slope parameter, g(·) is an unknown function, the correlated errors \(V_i = \sum\nolimits_{j = - \infty }^\infty {c_j e_{i - j} } \) with \(\sum\nolimits_{j = - \infty }^\infty {|c_j |} < \infty \), and e i are negatively associated random variables. Under appropriate conditions, the authors study the asymptotic normality for wavelet estimators of β and g(·). A simulation study is undertaken to investigate finite sample behavior of the estimators.
