On M-estimators of Approximate Quantiles and Approximate Conditional Quantiles
M-estimators introduced in Huber (1964) provide a class of robust estimators of a center of symmetry of a symmetric probability distribution which also have very high eeciency at the model. However it is not clear what they do estimate when the probability distributions are nonsymmetric. In this paper we rst show that in the case of arbitrary, not necessarily symmetric probabilty distributions,...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of Extreme Conditional Quantiles
The estimation of extreme conditional quantiles is an important issue in different scientific disciplines. Up to now, the extreme value literature focused mainly on estimation procedures based on i.i.d. samples. On the other hand, quantile regression based procedures work well for estimation within the data range i.e. the estimation of nonextreme quantiles but break down when main interest is i...
متن کاملon the comparison of keyword and semantic-context methods of learning new vocabulary meaning
the rationale behind the present study is that particular learning strategies produce more effective results when applied together. the present study tried to investigate the efficiency of the semantic-context strategy alone with a technique called, keyword method. to clarify the point, the current study seeked to find answer to the following question: are the keyword and semantic-context metho...
15 صفحه اولPredicting Conditional Quantiles via Reduction to Classification
We show how to reduce the process of predicting conditional quantiles (and the median in particular) to solving classification. The accompanying theoretical statement shows that the regret of the classifier bounds the regret of the quantile regression under a quantile loss. We also test this reduction empirically against existing quantile regression methods on large real-world datasets and disc...
متن کاملNonparametric Prewhitening Estimators for Conditional Quantiles
We define a nonparametric prewhitening method for estimating conditional quantiles based on local linear quantile regression. We characterize the bias, variance and asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator. Under weak conditions our estimator can achieve bias reduction and have the same variance as the local linear quantile estimators. A small set of Monte Carlo simulations is carried out...
