Yee, Vector Generalized Linear and Additive Models, As usual, some VGAM family functionsĪre used for illustrative purposes-they are summarized in Table 15.2. Thirdly, quantities somewhat similar to quantilesĬalled expectiles are described (Sect. Link applied to the ALD location parameter means that quantiles may be positive (iii) A method called the ‘onion’ method may be used to perform QR, likeĮstimating the layers of an onion-and it provides a second natural solution to It will be seen that (i) a parallelism assumption (Hk = 1M ) is a natural solution to the quantile-crossing problem (ii) The log Is not well-suited for solving for the location parameters of an ALD, nevertheless sometimes a reasonable solution may be obtained. Starting with what is called here the classical method, QR based on the asymmetric Laplace distribution (ALD) is described (Sect. The ﬁrst is a popular QR technique called the LMS method, which is amenable to IRLS (Sect. This chapter mainly dwells on three topics. This may be one reason why QR has become increasingly popular over Information about the random variable Y at x, whereas E(Y |x) is but the ﬁrst As such, there is no information loss because F (y|x) contains all the In contrast, quantile regression (QR)Īllows for a complete picture by considering the (entire) conditional distribution With great flexibility is the embarrassing phenomenon of quantile crossing.Ī major deﬁciency of much of statistical modelling involving the regression function E(Y |x) is the resultant information loss. The percentile curves are usually computed one level at a time.
