Abstract:

We consider a class of models for conditional quantile functions with additive nonparametric components. Smoothness of the nonparametric components is controlled by constraining the total variation of derivatives, while a lasso penalty is imposed on the parametric components. Model selection of the smoothing and lasso lambda parameters, and post-selection inference on model effects will be emphasized.
