Which Quantile is the Most Informative ? Maximum Entropy Quantile Regression ∗
This paper studies the connections among quantile regression, the asymmetric Laplace distribution, and the maximum entropy. We show that the maximum likelihood problem is equivalent to the solution of a maximum entropy problem where we impose moment constraints given by the joint consideration of the mean and median. Using the resulting score functions we develop a maximum entropy quantile regr...

This paper studies the connections among quantile regression, the asymmetric Laplace distribution, maximum likelihood and maximum entropy. We show that the maximum likelihood problem is equivalent to the solution of a maximum entropy problem where we impose moment constraints given by the joint consideration of the mean and median. Using the resulting score functions we propose an estimator bas...
متن کاملQuantile maximum likelihood estimation of response time distributions.
We introduce and evaluate via a Monte Carlo study a robust new estimation technique that fits distribution functions to grouped response time (RT) data, where the grouping is determined by sample quantiles. The new estimator, quantile maximum likelihood (QML), is more efficient and less biased than the best alternative estimation technique when fitting the commonly used ex-Gaussian distribution...
متن کاملEXTREMAL QUANTILE REGRESSION 3 quantile regression
Quantile regression is an important tool for estimation of conditional quantiles of a response Y given a vector of covariates X. It can be used to measure the effect of covariates not only in the center of a distribution, but also in the upper and lower tails. This paper develops a theory of quantile regression in the tails. Specifically , it obtains the large sample properties of extremal (ext...
متن کامل3 : Maximum Likelihood / Maximum Entropy Duality
In the previous lecture we defined the principle of Maximum Likelihood (ML): suppose we have random variables X1, ..., Xn form a random sample from a discrete distribution whose joint probability distribution is P (x | φ) where x = (x1, ..., xn) is a vector in the sample and φ is a parameter from some parameter space (which could be a discrete set of values — say class membership). When P (x | ...
