Two-phase Quantile Estimation

چکیده
This paper discusses the implementation of a two-phase procedure to construct confidence intervals for a simulation estimator of the steady-state quantiles of stochastic processes. We compute sample quantiles at certain grid points and use Lagrange interpolation to estimate the p quantile. The algorithm dynamically increases the sample size so that quantile estimates satisfy the proportional precision at the first phase and the relative or absolute precision at the second phase. We show that the procedure gives asymptotically unbiased quantile estimates. An experimental performance evaluation demonstrates the validity of using grid points and the quasi-independent procedure to estimate quantiles.

Conditional Quantile Estimation for Garch Models
Conditional quantile estimation is an essential ingredient in modern risk management. Although GARCH processes have proven highly successful in modeling financial data it is generally recognized that it would be useful to consider a broader class of processes capable of representing more flexibly both asymmetry and tail behavior of conditional returns distributions. In this paper, we study esti...

Noise spectrum estimation from a noisy speech signal forms a critical part of such applications as single channel speech enhancement and robust automatic speech recognition (ASR). The two-pass quantile based noise estimation algorithm presented in this paper has the ability to track slow changing non-stationary noise and obtains good estimates for various noise types over a wide range of SNR le...
متن کاملInterquantile Shrinkage in Regression Models.
Conventional analysis using quantile regression typically focuses on fitting the regression model at different quantiles separately. However, in situations where the quantile coefficients share some common feature, joint modeling of multiple quantiles to accommodate the commonality often leads to more efficient estimation. One example of common features is that a predictor may have a constant e...
متن کاملOptimally Combined Estimation for Tail Quantile Regression
Quantile regression offers a convenient tool to access the relationship between a response and covariates in a comprehensive way and it is appealing especially in applications where interests are on the tails of the response distribution. However, due to data sparsity, the finite sample estimation at tail quantiles often suffers from high variability. To improve the tail estimation efficiency, ...

Examination of multiple conditional quantile functions provides a comprehensive view of the relationship between the response and covariates. In situations where quantile slope coefficients share some common features, estimation efficiency and model interpretability can be improved by utilizing such commonality across quantiles. Furthermore, elimination of irrelevant predictors will also aid in...
