New Bandwidth Selection for Kernel Quantile Estimators
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a cross-validation method suitable for smoothing of kernel quantile estimators. In particular, our proposed method selects the bandwidth parameter, which is known to play a crucial role in kernel smoothing, based on unbiased estimation of a mean integrated squared error curve of which the minimising value determines an optimal bandwidth. This method is shown to lead to asymptotically optimal bandwidth choice and we also provide some general theory on the performance of optimal, data-based methods of bandwidth choice. The numerical performances of the proposed methods are compared in simulations, and the new bandwidth selection is demonstrated to work very well.

Kernel Quantile Estimators
SUMMARY The estimation of population quantiles is of great interest when one is not prepared to assume a parametric form for the u.nderlying distribution. In addition, quantiles often arise as the natural thing to estimate when the underlying distribution is skewed. The sample quantile is a popular nonparametric estimator of the corresponding population quantile. Being a function of at most two...

This paper discusses modiications of the convolution type kernel regression estimator. One modiication uses kernel quantile estimators and is analyzed more detailed. This regression estimator combines advantages of local polynomial and kernel regression estimators and can be applied for small to large sample size. Its properties are illustrated by simulation results and asymptotic theory. Espec...
متن کاملDiscrimination of time series based on kernel method
Classical methods in discrimination such as linear and quadratic do not have good efficiency in the case of nongaussian or nonlinear time series data. In nonparametric kernel discrimination in which the kernel estimators of likelihood functions are used instead of their real values has been shown to have good performance. The misclassification rate of kernel discrimination is usually less than ...
متن کاملVariable data driven bandwidth choice in nonparametric quantile regression
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 ...
متن کاملKernel and Nearest Neighbor Estimation of a Conditional Quantile
Let (Xl'Z1)' (X2,Z2),· .. ,(Xn,Zn) be LLd. as (X,Z), Z taking values in Rl, and for o < p < 1, let ep(x) denote the conditional p-quantile of Z given X=x, i.e., P(Z ~ ep(x) IX=x) = p. In this paper, kernel and nearest neighbor estimators of ep(x) are proposed. As a first step in studying the asymptotics of these estimates, Bahadur type ~ representations of the sample conditional quantile functi...
