Model-Robust Designs for Quantile Regression
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give methods for the construction of designs for regression models, when the purpose of the investigation is the estimation of the conditional quantile function, and the estimation method is quantile regression. The designs are robust against misspecified response functions, and against unanticipated heteroscedasticity. The methods are illustrated by example, and in a case study in which they are applied to growth charts.

Finite Sample Properties of Quantile Interrupted Time Series Analysis: A Simulation Study
Interrupted Time Series (ITS) analysis represents a powerful quasi-experime-ntal design in which a discontinuity is enforced at a specific intervention point in a time series, and separate regression functions are fitted before and after the intervention point. Segmented linear/quantile regression can be used in ITS designs to isolate intervention effects by estimating the sudden/level change (...
متن کاملrdrobust: An R Package for Robust Nonparametric Inference in Regression-Discontinuity Designs
This article describes the R package rdrobust, which provides data-driven graphical and inference procedures for RD designs. The package includes three main functions: rdrobust, rdbwselect and rdplot. The first function (rdrobust) implements conventional local-polynomial RD treatment effect point estimators and confidence intervals, as well as robust bias-corrected confidence intervals, for ave...
متن کاملBayesian Quantile Regression with Adaptive Elastic Net Penalty for Longitudinal Data
Longitudinal studies include the important parts of epidemiological surveys, clinical trials and social studies. In longitudinal studies, measurement of the responses is conducted repeatedly through time. Often, the main goal is to characterize the change in responses over time and the factors that influence the change. Recently, to analyze this kind of data, quantile regression has been taken ...
متن کاملSemi-parametric Quantile Regression for Analysing Continuous Longitudinal Responses
Recently, quantile regression (QR) models are often applied for longitudinal data analysis. When the distribution of responses seems to be skew and asymmetric due to outliers and heavy-tails, QR models may work suitably. In this paper, a semi-parametric quantile regression model is developed for analysing continuous longitudinal responses. The error term's distribution is assumed to be Asymmetr...
متن کاملRegularized Quantile Regression and Robust Feature Screening for Single Index Models.
We propose both a penalized quantile regression and an independence screening procedure to identify important covariates and to exclude unimportant ones for a general class of ultrahigh dimensional single-index models, in which the conditional distribution of the response depends on the covariates via a single-index structure. We observe that the linear quantile regression yields a consistent e...
