Abstract

The regression model y = g(x) + ε and least-squares estimation are studied in a general context. By making use of empirical process theory, it is shown that entropy conditions on the class G of possible regression functions imply L2-consistency of the least-squares estimator $\hat{\mathbf{g}}_n$ of g. This result is applied in parametric and nonparametric regression.
