Diāna Santalova

In this paper the regression models used for description and forecasting the rail passenger conveyances of the regions of Latvia are considered. Two estimation approaches were compared: parametric and semi-parametric (single index model). Various tests for hypothesis of explanatory variables insignificance and model correctness have been lead, and the cross-validation has been carried out as well. The obtained results have shown obvious preference of the single index model.
