Quantile regression methods for recursive structural equation models
Two classes of quantile regression estimation methods for the recursive structural equation models of Chesher (2003) are investigated. A class of weighted average derivative estimators based directly on the identification strategy of Chesher is contrasted with a new control variate estimation method. The latter imposes stronger restrictions achieving an asymptotic efficiency bound with respect ...
متن کاملAdditive Models for Quantile Regression: Some New Methods for R
This brief report describes some recent developments of the R quantreg package to incorporate methods for additive models. The methods are illustrated with an application to modeling childhood malnutrition in India. Models with additive nonparametric effects offer a valuable dimension reduction device throughout applied statistics. In this paper we describe some recent developments of additive ...
متن کاملInstrumental quantile regression inference for structural and treatment effect models
We introduce a class of instrumental quantile regression methods for heterogeneous treatment effect models and simultaneous equations models with nonadditive errors and offer computable methods for estimation and inference. These methods can be used to evaluate the impact of endogenous variables or treatments on the entire distribution of outcomes. We describe an estimator of the instrumental v...
متن کاملEquivalence in Non-Recursive Structural Equation Models
Introduction In the last decade, there has been considerable progress in understanding a certain class of statistical models, known as directed acyclic graph (DAG) models, which encode independence, and conditional independence constraints. (See Pearl, 1988). This research has had fruitful results in many areas: there is now a relatively clear causal interpretation of these models, there are ef...
متن کاملQuantile Regression for Mixed Models
Cardiometabolic diseases have substantially increased in China in the past 20 years and blood pressure is a primary modifiable risk factor. Using data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey we examine blood pressure trends in China from 1991 to 2009, with a concentration on age cohorts and urbanicity. Very large values of blood pressure are of interest, so we model the conditional quantile ...
