Support and Quantile Tubes
نویسندگان
چکیده
This correspondence studies an estimator of the conditional support of a distribution underlying a set of i.i.d. observations. The relation with mutual information is shown via an extension of Fano’s theorem in combination with a generalization bound based on a compression argument. Extensions to estimating the conditional quantile interval, and statistical guarantees on the minimal convex hull are given.

Visualizing Multiple Quantile Plots.
Multiple-quantile plots provide a powerful graphical method for comparing the distributions of two or more populations. This article develops a method of visualizing triple-quantile plots and their associated confidence tubes, thus extending the notion of a quantile-quantile (QQ) plot to three dimensions. More specifically, we consider three independent one-dimensional random samples with corre...
متن کاملConfidence Tubes for Multiple Quantile Plots via Empirical Likelihood
The nonparametric empirical likelihood approach is used to obtain simultaneous confidence tubes for multiple quantile plots based on k independent (possibly right-censored) samples. These tubes are asymptotically distribution free, except when both k > 3 and censoring is present. Pointwise versions of the confidence tubes, however, are asymptotically distribution free in all cases. The various ...
متن کاملConndence Tubes for Multiple Quantile Plots via Empirical Likelihood
The nonparametric empirical likelihood approach is used to obtain simultaneous conndence tubes for multiple quantile plots based on k independent (possibly right-censored) samples. These tubes are asymptotically distribution-free, except when both k 3 and censoring is present. Pointwise versions of the conndence tubes, however, are asymptotically distribution-free in all cases. The various conn...
متن کاملConsistency of kernel-based quantile regression
Quantile regression is used in many areas of applied research and business. Examples are actuarial, financial or biometrical applications. We show that a non-parametric generalization of quantile regression based on kernels shares with support vector machines the property of consistency to the Bayes risk. We further use this consistency to prove that the non-parametric generalization approximat...
متن کاملNonparametric Inference for Time-varying Coefficient Quantile Regression
The paper considers nonparametric inference for quantile regression models with time-varying coefficients. The errors and covariates of the regression are assumed to belong to a general class of locally stationary processes and are allowed to be cross-correlated. Simultaneous confidence tubes (SCT) and integrated squared difference tests (ISDT) are proposed for simultaneous nonparametric infere...
