Assessing Photovoltaic Performance Using Local Linear Quantile Regression
نویسنده
چکیده
The power generated by eleven different photovoltaic technologies and meteorological variables, such as irradiance and temperature, were recorded every half-hour at sites in the UK and Spain. These photovoltaic technologies included monocrystalline, multicrystalline and amorphous silicon, copper indium diselenide and cadmium telluride. Local linear quantile regression was used to determine the conversion efficiency of each technology as a function of the irradiance. This non-parametric technique also provides confidence intervals for the estimates. Monocrystalline silicon had the highest conversion efficiency, ranging between 10% and 13%.

Finite Sample Properties of Quantile Interrupted Time Series Analysis: A Simulation Study
Interrupted Time Series (ITS) analysis represents a powerful quasi-experime-ntal design in which a discontinuity is enforced at a specific intervention point in a time series, and separate regression functions are fitted before and after the intervention point. Segmented linear/quantile regression can be used in ITS designs to isolate intervention effects by estimating the sudden/level change (...
متن کاملSemi-parametric Quantile Regression for Analysing Continuous Longitudinal Responses
Recently, quantile regression (QR) models are often applied for longitudinal data analysis. When the distribution of responses seems to be skew and asymmetric due to outliers and heavy-tails, QR models may work suitably. In this paper, a semi-parametric quantile regression model is developed for analysing continuous longitudinal responses. The error term's distribution is assumed to be Asymmetr...
متن کاملImproved double kernel local linear quantile regression
As sample quantiles can be obtained as maximum likelihood estimates of location parameters in suitable asymmetric Laplace distributions, so kernel estimates of quantiles can be obtained as maximum likelihood estimates of location parameters in a general class of distributions with simple exponential tails. In this paper, this observation is applied to kernel quantile regression. In so doing, a ...
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 کاملRegression Modeling for Nonparametric Estimation of Distribution and Quantile Functions
We propose a local linear estimator of a smooth distribution function. This estimator applies local linear techniques to observations from a regression model in which the value of the empirical distribution function equals the value of true distribution plus an error term. We show that, for most commonly used kernel functions, our local linear estimator has a smaller asymptotic mean integrated ...
