چکیده

This paper derives the asymptotic normality of the nonlinear quantile regression estimator with dependent errors. The required assumptions are weak, and it is neither assumed that the error process is stationary nor that it is mixing. In fact, the notion of weak dependence introduced in this paper, can be considered as a quantile specific local variant of known concepts. The connection of the derived asymptotic results to corresponding results of least squares estimation is obvious. Kurzfassung: In dieser Arbeit wird die asymptotische Normalität des nichtlinearen Quantilsregressionsschätzers bei abhängigen Fehlertermen bewiesen. Die Annahmen die dabei zu Grunde liegen sind sehr schwach, wobei gezeigt wird, dass weder die Stationarität noch eine Mixing-Eigenschaft des Fehlerprozesses erforderlich sind. Von besonderer Bedeutung ist die in diesem Papier eingeführte quantilsspezifische Form von schwacher Abhängigkeit, die als lokale Variante existierender Konzepte interpretiert werden kann. Zudem zeigt sich, dass die Asymptotik starke Parallelen zum Fall der Minimumquadratschätzung aufweist. JEL classification: C22.

Asymptotic Theory for Nonlinear Quantile Regression under Weak Dependence

This paper studies the asymptotic properties of the nonlinear quantile regression model under general assumptions on the error process, which is allowed to be heterogeneous and mixing. We derive the consistency and asymptotic normality of regression quantiles under mild assumptions. First-order asymptotic theory is completed by a discussion of consistent covariance estimation.

Kernel Quantile Regression for Nonlinear Stochastic Models

We consider kernel quantile estimates for drift and scale functions in nonlinear stochastic regression models. Under a general dependence setting, we establish asymptotic point-wise and uniform Bahadur representations for the kernel quantile estimates. Based on those asymptotic representations, central limit theorems are obtained. Applications to nonlinear autoregressive models and linear proce...

Dependence of Default Probability and Recovery Rate in Structural Credit Risk Models: Empirical Evidence from Greece

The main idea of this paper is to study the dependence between the probability of default and the recovery rate on credit portfolio and to seek empirically this relationship. We examine the dependence between PD and RR by theoretical approach. For the empirically methodology, we use the bootstrapped quantile regression and the simultaneous quantile regression. These methods allow to determinate...

A Copula-based Quantile Model for Crude oil Return-Volatility Dependence Modelling: Case of Iran Heavy Oil

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between Iran’s heavy crude oil price returns and volatility dependence using the Copula-based quantile model (CQM). CQM is an efficient tool for analyzing nonlinear time series models as it has no need for initial assumptions.  We use monthly data from January 1990 to December 2019. We use the Hadrick-Prescott filter to calculate...

Conditional Mean and Quantile Dependence Testing in High Dimension

Motivated by applications in biological science, we propose a novel test to assess the conditional mean dependence of a response variable on a large number of covariates. Our procedure is built on the martingale difference divergence recently proposed in Shao and Zhang (2014), and it is able to detect certain type of departure from the null hypothesis of conditional mean independence without ma...
