Title: Nonparametric estimation of the continuous treatment effect with measurement error Authors:  Wei Huang - University of Melbourne (Australia) [presenting]

Abstract: The average dose-response function (ADRF) for a continuously valued error contaminated treatment is identified by a weighted conditional expectation. We then estimate the weights nonparametrically by maximising a local generalised empirical likelihood subject to an expanding set of conditional moment equations incorporated into the deconvolution kernels. Thereafter, we construct a deconvolution kernel estimator of ADRF. We derive the asymptotic bias and variance of our ADRF estimator and provide its asymptotic linear expansion, which can help conduct statistical inference. To select our smoothing parameters, we adopt the simulation-extrapolation method and propose a new extrapolation procedure to stabilise the computation. Monte Carlo simulations and a real data study illustrate our method's practical performance.
