Nonparametric Prewhitening Estimators for Conditional Quantiles
نویسندگان
چکیده
We define a nonparametric prewhitening method for estimating conditional quantiles based on local linear quantile regression. We characterize the bias, variance and asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator. Under weak conditions our estimator can achieve bias reduction and have the same variance as the local linear quantile estimators. A small set of Monte Carlo simulations is carried out to illustrate the performance of our estimators. An application to US gross domestic product data demonstrates the usefulness of our methodology.

A Direct Approach to Inference in Nonparametric and Semiparametric Quantile Regression Models
This paper makes two main contributions. First, we construct “density-free” confidence intervals and confidence bands for conditional quantiles in nonparametric and semiparametric quantile regression models. They are based on pairs of symmetrized k-NN quantile estimators at two appropriately chosen quantile levels. In contrast to Wald-type confidence intervals or bands based on the asymptotic d...
متن کاملEstimation of copula-based semiparametric time series models
This paper studies the estimation of a class of copula-based semiparametric stationary Markov models. These models are characterized by nonparametric marginal distributions and parametric copula functions, while the copulas capture all the scale-free temporal dependence of the processes. Simple estimators of the marginal distribution and the copula parameter are provided, and their asymptotic p...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of Extreme Conditional Quantiles
The estimation of extreme conditional quantiles is an important issue in different scientific disciplines. Up to now, the extreme value literature focused mainly on estimation procedures based on i.i.d. samples. On the other hand, quantile regression based procedures work well for estimation within the data range i.e. the estimation of nonextreme quantiles but break down when main interest is i...
متن کاملFunctional nonparametric estimation of conditional extreme quantiles
− We address the estimation of quantiles from heavy-tailed distributions when functional covariate information is available and in the case where the order of the quantile converges to one as the sample size increases. Such ”extreme” quantiles can be located in the range of the data or near and even beyond the boundary of the sample, depending on the convergence rate of their order to one. Nonp...
متن کاملPredicting extreme value at risk: Nonparametric quantile regression with refinements from extreme value theory
A framework is introduced allowing to apply nonparametric quantile regression to Value at Risk (VaR) prediction at any probability level of interest. A monotonized double kernel local linear estimator is used to estimate moderate (1%) conditional quantiles of index return distributions. For extreme (0.1%) quantiles, nonparametric quantile regression is combined with extreme value theory. The ab...
