✦ Synopsis
We develop a nonparametric test, based on kernel smoothers, in order to decide whether some covariates could be suppressed in a multidimensional nonparametric regression study. We give the asymptotic distribution of the statistic involved in our test, under a general dependence assumption on the sample that allows for application to time series prediction.

Recently, regression analysis of the cumulative incidence function has gained interest in competing risks data analysis, through the model proposed by Fine and Gray (JASA 1999; 94: 496-509). In this note, we point out that inclusion of time-dependent covariates in this model can lead to serious bias
The ordinary least-squares-based estimator of the disturbance variance is shown to be asymptotically unbiased and weakly consistent irrespective of restrictions on the nonstochastic regressor matrix, when a regression model uses the data collected by a two-stage sampling.
