A Combined Truncated Spline and Kernel Semiparametric Path Model Development

Semiparametric path analysis is a combination of parametric and nonparametric path analysis performed when the linearity assumption in some relationships is not met. In this study, the development of semiparametric path function estimation was carried out by combining two truncated spline and kernel approaches. In addition, the purpose of this study is to determine the significance of function estimation using t-test statistics at the jackknife resampling stage. This research was conducted in 135 Junrejo sub-districts of Batu district. The results showed that the development of a combined semiparametric path function estimation of truncated spline and kernel with weighted least square allows a more flexible and accurate estimation in modeling waste management behavior patterns. 2. The significance of the best truncated spline nonparametric path estimation in the model of the effect of Environmental Quality and the Use of Waste Banks on the Economic Benefits of Waste through the Use of the 3R Principles using t test statistics at the jackknife resampling stage shows that all exogenous variables have a significant effect on endogenous variables.
