Quantile 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 ...
متن کاملAdditive Models for Quantile Regression
We describe some recent development of nonparametric methods for estimating conditional quantile functions using additive models with total variation roughness penalties. We focus attention primarily on selection of smoothing parameters and on the con
متن کاملIntegrated Conditional Moment Testing of Quantile Regression Models
In this paper we propose a consistent test of the linearity of quantile regression models, similar to the Integrated Conditional Moment (ICM) test of Bierens (1982) and Bierens and Ploberger (1997). This test requires re-estimation of the quantile regression model by minimizing the ICM test statistic with respect to the parameters. We apply this ICM test to examine the correctness of the functi...
متن کاملTesting for Parameter Stability in Dynamic Models across Frequencies∗
This paper contributes to the econometric literature on structural breaks by proposing a test for parameter stability in VAR models at a particular frequency ω, where ω ∈ [0, π]. When a dynamic model is affected by a structural break, the new tests allow for detecting which frequencies of the data are responsible for parameter instability. If the model is locally stable at the frequencies of in...
متن کاملTesting Stability of Regression Discontinuity Models∗
Regression discontinuity (RD) models are commonly used to nonparametrically identify and estimate a local average treatment e ect. Dong and Lewbel (2015) show how a derivative of this e ect, called TED (Treatment E ect Derivative) can be estimated. We argue here that TED should be employed in most RD applications, as a way to assess the stability and hence external validity of RD estimates. Clo...
