Measuring Firm Performance using Nonparametric Quantile-type Distances
When faced with multiple inputs X ∈ R+ and outputs Y ∈ R q +, traditional quantile regression of Y conditional on X = x for measuring economic efficiency in the output (input) direction is thwarted by the absence of a natural ordering of Euclidean space for dimensions q (p) greater than one. Daouia and Simar (2007) used nonstandard conditional quantiles to address this problem, conditioning on ...
متن کاملNonparametric analysis of covariance using quantile curves
We consider the problem of testing the equality of J quantile curves from independent samples. A test statistic based on an L2-distance between non-crossing nonparametric estimates of the quantile curves from the individual samples is proposed. Asymptotic normality of this statistic is established under the null hypothesis, local and fixed alternatives, and the finite sample properties of a boo...
متن کاملMeasuring firm performance using financial ratios: A decision tree approach
Determining the firm performance using a set of financial measures/ratios has been an interesting and challenging problem for many researchers and practitioners. Identification of factors (i.e., financial measures/ratios) that can accurately predict the firm performance is of great interest to any decision maker. In this study, we employed a two-step analysis methodology: first, using explorato...
متن کاملNonparametric Quantile Estimation
In regression, the desired estimate of y|x is not always given by a conditional mean, although this is most common. Sometimes one wants to obtain a good estimate that satisfies the property that a proportion, τ , of y|x, will be below the estimate. For τ = 0.5 this is an estimate of the median. What might be called median regression, is subsumed under the term quantile regression. We present a ...
متن کاملCrowdsourced Nonparametric Density Estimation Using Relative Distances
In this paper we address the following density estimation problem: given a number of relative similarity judgements over a set of itemsD, assign a density value p(x) to each item x ∈ D. Our work is motivated by human computing applications where density can be interpreted e.g. as a measure of the rarity of an item. While humans are excellent at solving a range of different visual tasks, assessi...
