Variable data driven bandwidth choice in nonparametric quantile regression
نویسنده
چکیده
The choice of a smoothing parameter or bandwidth is crucial when applying nonparametric regression estimators. In nonparametric mean regression various methods for bandwidth selection exists. But in nonparametric quantile regression bandwidth choice is still an unsolved problem. In this paper a selection procedure for local varying bandwidths based on the asymptotic mean squared error (MSE) of the local linear quantile estimator is discussed. To estimate the unknown quantities of the MSE local linear quantile regression based on cross-validation and local likelihood estimation is used.

Penalizing function based bandwidth choice in nonparametric quantile regression
Abstract: In nonparametric mean regression various methods for bandwidth choice exist. These methods can roughly be divided into plug-in methods and methods based on penalizing functions. This paper uses the approach based on penalizing functions and adapt it to nonparametric quantile regression estimation, where bandwidth choice is still an unsolved problem. Various criteria for bandwitdth cho...
متن کاملOptimal Bandwidth Selection for Nonparametric Conditional Distribution and Quantile Functions
Li & Racine (2008) consider the nonparametric estimation of conditional cumulative distribution functions (CDF) in the presence of discrete and continuous covariates along with the associated conditional quantile function. However, they did not propose an optimal data-driven method of bandwidth selection and left this important problem as an ‘open question’. In this paper we propose an automati...
متن کاملLocal Composite Quantile Regression Smoothing for Harris Recurrent Markov Processes.
In this paper, we study the local polynomial composite quantile regression (CQR) smoothing method for the nonlinear and nonparametric models under the Harris recurrent Markov chain framework. The local polynomial CQR regression method is a robust alternative to the widely-used local polynomial method, and has been well studied in stationary time series. In this paper, we relax the stationarity ...
متن کاملA Note on Covariance Matrix Estimation in Quantile Regressions
Abstract This note discusses some issues related to bandwidth selection based on moment expansions of the mean squared error (MSE) of the regression quantile estimator. We use higher order expansions to provide a way to distinguish among asymptotically equivalent nonparametric estimators. We derive approximations to the (standardized) MSE of the covariance matrix estimation. This facilitates a ...
متن کاملrdrobust: An R Package for Robust Nonparametric Inference in Regression-Discontinuity Designs
This article describes the R package rdrobust, which provides data-driven graphical and inference procedures for RD designs. The package includes three main functions: rdrobust, rdbwselect and rdplot. The first function (rdrobust) implements conventional local-polynomial RD treatment effect point estimators and confidence intervals, as well as robust bias-corrected confidence intervals, for ave...
