Abstract: We consider the estimation of the k + 1-dimensional nonparametric component (t) of
the varying-coefficient model Y (t) = XT (t) (t) + "(t) based on longitudinal observation
(Yij ,Xi(tij), tij), i = 1, ..., n, j = 1, ..., ni, where tij is the jth observed design time
point t of the ith subjects at tij . The subjects are independently selected, but the repeated
measurements within subject are possibly correlated.A Monte Carlo Simulation was established,
kernel smoothing method was used to estimate (t) that minimizes a local least
square criterion. The distribution for "(t) was analyzed. The degree of freedom was
investigated.
