Optimal smoothing in nonparametric conditional quantile derivative function estimation
非参数条件分位数导数函数估计中的最优平滑
Marginal effect in nonparametric quantile regression is of special interest as it quantitatively measures how one unit change in explanatory variable heterogeneously affects dependent variable ceteris paribus at distinct quantiles. In this paper, we propose a data-driven bandwidth selection procedure based on the gradient of an unknown quantile regression function. Our method delivers the bandwidth with the oracle property in the sense that it is asymptotically equivalent to…
