Quantile regression when the covariates are functions

چکیده
This paper deals with a linear model of regression on quantiles when the explanatory variable takes values in some functional space and the response is scalar. We propose a spline estimator of the functional coefficient that minimizes a penalized L type criterion. Then, we study the asymptotic behavior of this estimator. The penalization is of primary importance to get existence and convergence.

Corrected-loss estimation for quantile regression with covariate measurement errors.
We study estimation in quantile regression when covariates are measured with errors. Existing methods require stringent assumptions, such as spherically symmetric joint distribution of the regression and measurement error variables, or linearity of all quantile functions, which restrict model flexibility and complicate computation. In this paper, we develop a new estimation approach based on co...
متن کاملConditional Quantile Analysis When Covariates Are Functions, With Application to Growth Data
Motivated by the conditional growth charts problem, we develop a method for conditional quantile analysis when predictors take values in a functional space. The proposed method aims at estimating conditional distribution functions under a generalized functional regression framework. This approach facilitates balancing of model flexibility and the curse of dimensionality for the infinite-dimensi...
متن کاملWeighted quantile regression for analyzing health care cost data with missing covariates.
Analysis of health care cost data is often complicated by a high level of skewness, heteroscedastic variances and the presence of missing data. Most of the existing literature on cost data analysis have been focused on modeling the conditional mean. In this paper, we study a weighted quantile regression approach for estimating the conditional quantiles health care cost data with missing covaria...
متن کاملQuantile Regression Estimation of Panel Duration Models with Censored Data∗
This paper studies the estimation of quantile regression panel duration models. We allow for the possibility of endogenous covariates and correlated individual effects in the quantile regression models. We propose a quantile regression approach for panel duration models under conditionally independent censoring. The procedure involves minimizing l1 convex objective functions and is motivated by...
متن کاملFinite 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 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...
