L1-Norm Quantile Regression

چکیده
Classical regression methods have focused mainly on estimating conditional mean functions. In recent years, however, quantile regression has emerged as a comprehensive approach to the statistical analysis of response models. In this article we consider the L1-norm (LASSO) regularized quantile regression (L1-norm QR), which uses the sum of the absolute values of the coefficients as the penalty. The L1-norm penalty has the advantage of simultaneously controlling the variance of the fitted coefficients and performing automatic variable selection. We propose an efficient algorithm that computes the entire solution path of the L1-norm QR. Furthermore, we derive an estimate for the effective dimension of the L1-norm QR model, which allows convenient selection of the regularization parameter.

Adaptive penalized quantile regression for high dimensional data
We propose a new adaptive L1 penalized quantile regression estimator for highdimensional sparse regression models with heterogeneous error sequences. We show that under weaker conditions compared with alternative procedures, the adaptive L1 quantile regression selects the true underlying model with probability converging to one, and the unique estimates of nonzero coefficients it provides have ...

It is well known that quantile regression model minimizes the portfolio extreme risk, whenever the attention is placed on the estimation of the response variable left quantiles. We show that, by considering the entire conditional distribution of the dependent variable, it is possible to optimize different risk and performance indicators. In particular, we introduce a risk-adjusted profitability...
متن کاملBehavior of Lasso Quantile Regression with Small Sample Sizes
Quantile regression is a statistical technique intended to estimate, and conduct inference about the conditional quantile functions. Just as the classical linear regression methods estimate models for conditional mean function, quantile regression offers a mechanism for estimating models for conditional median function, and the full range of other conditional quantile functions. In this paper d...
متن کاملHigh-Dimensional Structured Quantile Regression
Quantile regression aims at modeling the conditional median and quantiles of a response variable given certain predictor variables. In this work we consider the problem of linear quantile regression in high dimensions where the number of predictor variables is much higher than the number of samples available for parameter estimation. We assume the true parameter to have some structure character...
متن کاملQuantile Regression Estimation of Panel Duration Models with Censored Data∗
This paper studies the estimation of quantile regression panel duration models. We allow for the possibility of endogenous covariates and correlated individual effects in the quantile regression models. We propose a quantile regression approach for panel duration models under conditionally independent censoring. The procedure involves minimizing l1 convex objective functions and is motivated by...
