Local linear regression for the full-time weight. Estimates for a local linear regression of the full-time weight on the rank difference \(\theta\). For individual percentile ranks close to the upper bound until we correct, \(\theta\) approaches zero. \(\theta\) is the larger the lower the rank in the wage distribution. For women and men, only the part below the respective upper bound, 88th and 29 percentile, is considered for the correction
