Principal components regression (PCR) is used in resolving the multicollinearity problem but specification bias occurs due to the selection only of the important principal components to be included resulting in the deterioration of predictive ability of the model. We propose the PCR in a nonparametric framework to address the multicollinearity problem while minimizing the specification bias that affects predictive ability of the model. The simulation study illustrated that nonparametric PCR addresses the multicollinearity problem while retaining higher predictive ability relative to parametric principal components regression model.
