Computational Issues for Quantile Regression

چکیده
In this paper, we discuss some practical computational issues for quantile regression. We consider the computation from two aspects: estimation and inference. For estimation, we cover three algorithms: simplex, interior point, and smoothing. We describe and compare these algorithms, then discuss implementation of some computing techniques, which include optimization, parallelization, and sparse computation, with these algorithms in practice. For inference, we focus on confidence intervals. We discuss three methods: sparsity, rank-score, and resampling. Their performances are compared for data sets with a large number of covariates.

Regularized Quantile Regression and Robust Feature Screening for Single Index Models.
We propose both a penalized quantile regression and an independence screening procedure to identify important covariates and to exclude unimportant ones for a general class of ultrahigh dimensional single-index models, in which the conditional distribution of the response depends on the covariates via a single-index structure. We observe that the linear quantile regression yields a consistent e...
متن کاملEditorial for the special issue on quantile regression and semiparametric methods
Quantile regression and other semiparametric models have been widely recognized as important data analysis tools in statistics and econometrics. Thesemethods donot rely strictly onparametric likelihoodbut avoid the curse of dimensionality associated with many nonparametric models. The journal Computational Statistics and Data Analysis regularly publishes papers on these semiparametric methods, ...
متن کاملPower Prior Elicitation in Bayesian Quantile Regression
We address a quantile dependent prior for Bayesian quantile regression. We extend the idea of the power prior distribution in Bayesian quantile regression by employing the likelihood function that is based on a location-scale mixture representation of the asymmetric Laplace distribution. The propriety of the power prior is one of the critical issues in Bayesian analysis. Thus, we discuss the pr...
متن کاملBayesian Quantile Regression with Adaptive Elastic Net Penalty for Longitudinal Data
Longitudinal studies include the important parts of epidemiological surveys, clinical trials and social studies. In longitudinal studies, measurement of the responses is conducted repeatedly through time. Often, the main goal is to characterize the change in responses over time and the factors that influence the change. Recently, to analyze this kind of data, quantile regression has been taken ...
متن کاملTime-adaptive quantile regression
An algorithm for time-adaptive quantile regression is presented. The algorithm is based on the simplex algorithm, and the linear optimization formulation of the quantile regression problem is given. The observations have been split to allow a direct use of the simplex algorithm. The simplex method and an updating procedure are combined into a new algorithm for time-adaptive quantile regression,...
