A novel estimation procedure that adapts simultaneously to the unknown index vector and the smoothness of the link function by selecting from a family of specific kernel estimators is proposed. We establish a pointwise oracle inequality which, in its turn, is used to judge the quality of estimating the entire function (" global " oracle inequality). Both the results are applied to the problems of pointwise and global adaptive estimation over a collection of Hölder and Nikol'skii functional classes, respectively. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-01265248/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-01265248/file/Single-Index-AOS.pdf %L hal-01265248 %U https://hal.science/hal-01265248 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-AMU %~ EC-MARSEILLE %~ I2M %~ I2M-2014-
