Causality and persistence in ecological systems: a nonparametric spectral granger causality approach.
Abstract Directionality in coupling, defined as the linkage relating causes to their effects at a later time, can be used to explain the core dynamics of ecological systems by untangling direct and feedback relationships between the different components of the systems. Inferring causality from measured ecological variables sampled through time remains a formidable challenge further made diffic...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of Extreme Conditional Quantiles
The estimation of extreme conditional quantiles is an important issue in different scientific disciplines. Up to now, the extreme value literature focused mainly on estimation procedures based on i.i.d. samples. On the other hand, quantile regression based procedures work well for estimation within the data range i.e. the estimation of nonextreme quantiles but break down when main interest is i...
متن کاملNoninformative Nonparametric Bayesian Estimation of Quantiles
In 1981 Rubin introduced the Bayesian bootstrap and argued that it was the natural Bayesian analogue to the usual bootstrap. We show here that when estimating a population quantile in a nonparametric problem it yields estimators that are often preferred to the natural naive estimators based on the order statistic.

متن کاملNonparametric Prewhitening Estimators for Conditional Quantiles
We define a nonparametric prewhitening method for estimating conditional quantiles based on local linear quantile regression. We characterize the bias, variance and asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator. Under weak conditions our estimator can achieve bias reduction and have the same variance as the local linear quantile estimators. A small set of Monte Carlo simulations is carried out...
متن کاملFunctional nonparametric estimation of conditional extreme quantiles
− We address the estimation of quantiles from heavy-tailed distributions when functional covariate information is available and in the case where the order of the quantile converges to one as the sample size increases. Such ”extreme” quantiles can be located in the range of the data or near and even beyond the boundary of the sample, depending on the convergence rate of their order to one. Nonp...
