Abstract
- Quantile regression is a robust and practically useful way to efficiently model quantile varying correlation and predict varied response quantiles of interest. This article constructs and tests MM algorithms, which are simple to code and have been suggested superior to some other prominent quantile regression methods in nonregularized problems, in an array of quantile regression settings including linear (modeling different quantile coefficients both separately and simultaneously), nonparametric, regularized, and monotone quantile regression. Applications to various real data sets and two simulation studies comparing MM to existing tested methods have corroborated our algorithms' effectiveness. We have made one key advance by generalizing our MM algorithm to efficiently fit easy-to-predict-and-interpret parametric quantile regression models for data sets exhibiting manifest complicated nonlinear correlation patterns, which has not yet been covered by current literature to the best of our knowledge.
