Smoothed Empirical Likelihood Methods for Quantile Regression Models
This paper considers an empirical likelihood method to estimate the parameters of the quantile regression (QR) models and to construct confidence regions that are accurate in finite samples. To achieve the higher-order refinements, we smooth the estimating equations for the empirical likelihood. We show that the smoothed empirical likelihood (SEL) estimator is first-order asymptotically equival...
متن کاملSmoothed quantile regression for panel data∗
This paper studies fixed effects estimation of quantile regression (QR) models with panel data. Previous studies show that there are two important difficulties with the standard QR estimation. First, the estimator can be biased because of the well-known incidental parameters problem. Secondly, the non-smoothness of the objective function significantly complicates the asymptotic analysis of the ...
متن کاملSmoothed Estimating Equations for Instrumental Variables Quantile Regression
The moment conditions or estimating equations for instrumental variables quantile regression involves the discontinuous indicator function. We instead use smoothed estimating equations, with bandwidth h. This is known to allow higherorder expansions that justify bootstrap refinements for inference. Computation of the estimator also becomes simpler and more reliable, especially with (more) endog...
متن کاملVoice conversion with smoothed GMM and MAP adaptation
In most state-of-the-art voice conversion systems, speech quality of converted utterances is still unsatisfactory. In this paper, STRAIGHT analysis-synthesis framework is used to improve the quality. A smoothed GMM and MAP adaptation is proposed for spectrum conversion to avoid the overly smooth phenomenon in the traditional GMM method. Since frames are processed independently, the GMM based tr...
متن کاملSmoothed instrumental variables quantile regression, with estimation of quantile Euler equations∗
This paper develops theory for feasible estimation and testing of finite-dimensional parameters identified by general conditional quantile restrictions. This includes instrumental variables nonlinear quantile regression as a special case, under much weaker assumptions than previously seen in the literature. More specifically, we consider a set of unconditional moments implied by the conditional...
