Daily energy balance was calculated for 111 Holstein cows in their first 3 lactations, based on combinations of smoothed preadjusted phenotypic records for milk yield, feed intake, live weight, and body condition score. Two energy balance traits were defined: one based on milk yield and feed intake (EB1) and the other on live weight and body condition score change (EB2). Bessel functions (BF), ...

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...

In this work, we consider a multivariate regression model with one-sided errors. We assume for the function to lie in general Hölder class and estimate it via nonparametric local polynomial approach that consists of minimization integral approximation lying above data points. While consideration covariates offers an undeniable opportunity from application-oriented standpoint, requires new metho...
