Consistency of kernel-based quantile regression
نویسندگان
چکیده
Quantile regression is used in many areas of applied research and business. Examples are actuarial, financial or biometrical applications. We show that a non-parametric generalization of quantile regression based on kernels shares with support vector machines the property of consistency to the Bayes risk. We further use this consistency to prove that the non-parametric generalization approximates the conditional quantile function which gives the mathematical justification for kernel-based quantile regression.

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 کاملKernel 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...
متن کاملUsing Exponentially Weighted Quantile Regression to Estimate Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall
We propose exponentially weighted quantile regression (EWQR) for estimating time-varying quantiles. The EWQR cost function can be used as the basis for estimating the time-varying expected shortfall associated with the EWQR quantile forecast. We express EWQR in a kernel estimation framework, and then modify it by adapting a previously proposed double kernel estimator in order to provide greater...
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 ...
