Identifying Risk Factors for Severe Childhood Malnutrition by Boosting Additive Quantile Regression
用提升法加性分位数回归识别儿童严重营养不良风险因素
We investigated the risk factors for childhood malnutrition in India based on the 2005/2006 Demographic and Health Survey by applying a novel estimation technique for additive quantile regression. Ordinary linear and generalized linear regression models relate the mean of a response variable to a linear combination of covariate effects, and, as a consequence, focus on average properties of the response. The use of such a regression model for analyzing childhood malnutrition…
