PARTIALLY FUNCTIONAL LINEAR QUANTILE REGRESSION WITH MEASUREMENT ERRORS

摘要

Ignoring measurement errors in conventional regression analyses can lead to biased estimation and inference results. Reducing such bias is challenging when the error-prone covariate is a functional curve. In this paper, we propose a new corrected loss function for a partially functional linear quantile model with function -valued measurement errors. We establish the asymptotic properties of both the functional coefficient and the parametric coefficient estimators. We also demonstrate the finite-sample performance of the proposed method using simulation studies, and illustrate its advantages by applying it to data from a children obesity study.
