Quantile regression (QR) is a statistical tool for distribution-free estimation of conditional quantiles of a target variable given explanatory features. QR is limited by the assumption that the target distribution is univariate and defined…

Modal regression has emerged as a flexible alternative to classical regression models when the conditional mean or median are unable to adequately capture the underlying relation between a response and a predictor variable. This approach is…

This paper proposes a new nonlinear approach for additive functional regression with functional response based on kernel methods along with some slight reformulation and implementation of the linear regression and the spectral additive…

Regression models that go beyond the mean, alongside coherent risk measures, have been important tools in modern data analysis. This paper introduces the innovative concept of Average Quantile Regression (AQR), which is smooth at the…

Sample quantiles, such as the median, are often better suited than the sample mean for summarising location characteristics of a data set. Similarly, linear combinations of sample quantiles and ratios of such linear combinations, e.g. the…
