Nonparametric comparison of regression curves - an empirical process approach
We propose a new test for the comparison of two regression curves, which is based on a di erence of two marked empirical processes based on residuals. The large sample behaviour of the corresponding statistic is studied to provide a full nonparametric comparison of regression curves. In contrast to most procedures suggested in the literature the new procedure is applicable in the case of di ere...
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 کاملapplication of nonparametric quantile regression for fitting height-for-age curves
reference curves are useful tools to monitor children’s growth status and can promote growth velocity in infants. in this regard, various parametric and semi-parametric methods are frequently used in the last decades. in the present paper, nonparametric quintile regression method is used as a powerful and applicable methodology to estimate height curves and normal values of height-for-age in ch...
متن کاملNonparametric Regression Analysis of Multivariate Longitudinal Data
Multivariate longitudinal data are common in medical, industrial and social science research. However, statistical analysis of such data in the current literature is restricted to linear or parametric modeling, which is inappropriate for applications in which the assumed parametric models are invalid. On the other hand, all existing nonparametric methods for analyzing longitudinal data are for ...
