In regression problem, the SCAD estimator proposed by Fan and Li (2001), has many desirable property such as continuity, sparsity and unbiasedness. In this paper, we extend SCAD penalized regression framework to quantile regression and hence, we propose new SCAD penalized quantile estimator on high-dimensions and also present an efficient algorithm. From the simulation and real data set, the proposed estimator performs better than quantile regression estimator with $L_1$ norm.

The estimation of extreme quantiles is one of the main objectives of statistics of extremes (which deals with the estimation of rare events). In this paper, a robust estimator of extreme quantile of a heavy-tailed distribution is considered. The estimator is obtained through the minimum density power divergence criterion on an exponential regression model. The proposed estimator was compared with two estimators of extreme quantiles in the literature in a simulation study. The results show that the proposed estimator is stable to the choice of the number of top order statistics and show lesser bias and mean square error compared to the existing extreme quantile estimators. Practical application of the proposed estimator is illustrated with data from the pedochemical and insurance industries.

In this study, we investigate the effects of the weight function in the bounded influence regression quantile (BIRQ) estimator for the AR(l) model with additive outliers. In order to down-weight the outliers of X -axis, the Mallows' (1973) weight function has been commonly used in the BIRQ estimator. However, in our Monte Carlo study, the BIRQ estimator using the Tukey's bisquare weight function shows less MSE and bias than that of using the Mallows' weight function or Huber's weight function. Thus, the use of the Tukey's weight function is recommended in the BIRQ estimator for our model.

However, in our Monte Carlo study, the BIRQ estimator using the Tukey's bisquare weight function shows less MSE and bias than that of using the Mallows' weight function or Huber's weight function.

The $L_1$ regularized estimator in quantile problems conduct parameter estimation and model selection simultaneously and have been shown to enjoy nice performance. However, $L_1$ regularized estimator has a drawback: when there are several highly correlated variables, it tends to pick only a few of them. To make up for it, the proposed method adopts doubly regularized framework with the mixture of $L_1$ and $L_2$ norms. As a result, the proposed method can select significant variables and encourage the highly correlated variables to be selected together. One of the most appealing features of the new algorithm is to construct the entire solution path of doubly regularized quantile estimator. From simulations and real data analysis, we investigate its performance.

This paper deals with the perishable inventory models with uncertainties of demand functions. The traditional perishable inventory costs of holding and stockout are incorporated into the cost function. The average expected cost will be minimized to find the optimal quantile estimator. After three candidate estimators are proposed on the basis of order statistics, they will be evaluated by the simulation results and statistical analysis. Then the transition procedure algorithm using this estimator will be proposed to make the optimal decision under uncertainty.

This paper deals with the asymptotic properties for statistical inferences of the parameters in nonlinear regression models. As an optimal criterion for robust estimators of the regression parameters, the regression quantile method is proposed. This paper defines the regression quintile estimators in the nonlinear models and provides simple and practical sufficient conditions for the asymptotic normality of the proposed estimators when the parameter space is compact. The efficiency of the proposed estimator is especially well compared with least squares estimator, least absolute deviation estimator under asymmetric error distribution.

We obtain a kernel quantile process based on the kernel quantile estimator and prove the uniform consistency of the kernel quantile process by developing that of the usual sample quantile process. We apply our result to the classical kernel type processes.

Unlabeled examples are easier and less expensive to be obtained than labeled examples. In this paper semisupervised approach is used to utilize such examples in an effort to enhance the predictive performance of nonlinear quantile regression problems. We propose a semisupervised quantile regression method named semisupervised support vector quantile regression, which is based on support vector machine. A generalized approximate cross validation method is used to choose the hyper-parameters that affect the performance of estimator. The experimental results confirm the successful performance of the proposed S2SVQR.

본 연구에서는 홍수지수법의 불확실성을 평가하기 위해 우리나라 강우자료의 지역빈도해석에 적합한 것으로 제안된 generalized logistic 분포형의 quantile에 대한 점근 분산식을 이용하여 성장곡선에 대한 신뢰구간을 산정하였다. 또한 지점 빈도해석과 지역빈도해석에 의한 quantile의 분산을 이용하여 빈도해석의 효율성 지표(efficiency index)를 계산하였다. 우리나라 378개 강우 관측 지점을 바탕으로 구분한 14개 동질 지역에 대해 효율성 지표를 계산한 결과 홍수지수법이 지점빈도 해석보다 불확실성이 더 작은 quantile을 추정하는 것으로 나타났다. 한 지역에 포함되는 지점 개수가 과다하지 않도록 조정하는 것이 지역빈도해석의 효율성 측면에서 나은 것으로 나타났다.
