Comparing conditional quantile estimators: rst and second order considerations
In this paper, we examine rst and second order asymptotic theory for two estima-tors in a linear quantile model in the case where the response is observed multiple times at xed covariate vectors x 1 ; ; x k. The rst estimator is the regression quantile esti-mator introduced by Koenker and Bassett (1978) while the second estimator is a least squares estimator on the sample quantiles of the respo...
متن کاملBias-reduced Extreme Quantile Estimators of Weibull Tail-distributions
In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating an extreme quantile of a Weibull tail-distribution. The new extreme quantile estimator has a reduced bias compared to the more classical ones proposed in the literature. It is based on an exponential regression model that was introduced in Diebolt et al. (2008). The asymptotic normality of the extreme quantile estimator is established. We als...
متن کاملConditional Density Estimation with Class Probability Estimators
Many regression schemes deliver a point estimate only, but often it is useful or even essential to quantify the uncertainty inherent in a prediction. If a conditional density estimate is available, then prediction intervals can be derived from it. In this paper we compare three techniques for computing conditional density estimates using a class probability estimator, where this estimator is ap...
متن کاملKernel Quantile Estimators
SUMMARY The estimation of population quantiles is of great interest when one is not prepared to assume a parametric form for the u.nderlying distribution. In addition, quantiles often arise as the natural thing to estimate when the underlying distribution is skewed. The sample quantile is a popular nonparametric estimator of the corresponding population quantile. Being a function of at most two...
