Despite the maturity of ensemble numerical weather prediction(NWP),the resulting forecasts are still,more often than not,under-dispersed.As such,forecast calibration tools have become popular.Among those tools,quantile regression(QR)is highly competitive in terms of both flexibility and predictive performance.Nevertheless,a long-standing problem of QR is quantile crossing,which greatly limits the interpretability of QR-calibrated forecasts.On this point,this study proposes a non-crossing quantile regression neural network(NCQRNN),for calibrating ensemble NWP forecasts into a set of reliable quantile forecasts without crossing.The overarching design principle of NCQRNN is to add on top of the conventional QRNN structure another hidden layer,which imposes a non-decreasing mapping between the combined output from nodes of the last hidden layer to the nodes of the output layer,through a triangular weight matrix with positive entries.The empirical part of the work considers a solar irradiance case study,in which four years of ensemble irradiance forecasts at seven locations,issued by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts,are calibrated via NCQRNN,as well as via an eclectic mix of benchmarking models,ranging from the naïve climatology to the state-of-the-art deep-learning and other non-crossing models.Formal and stringent forecast verification suggests that the forecasts post-processed via NCQRNN attain the maximum sharpness subject to calibration,amongst all competitors.Furthermore,the proposed conception to resolve quantile crossing is remarkably simple yet general,and thus has broad applicability as it can be integrated with many shallow-and deep-learning-based neural networks. 展开更多

This paper studies how the price movements of pork,chicken and egg respond to those of related cost factors in short terms in Chinese market.We employ a linear quantile approach not only to explore potential data heteroscedasticity but also to generate confidence bands for the purpose of price stability study.We then evaluate our models by comparing the prediction intervals generated from the quantile regression models with in-sample and out-of-sample forecasts.Using monthly data from January 2000 to October 2010,we observed these findings:(i) the price changes of cost factors asymmetrically and unequally influence those of the livestock across different quantiles;(ii) the performance of our models is robust and consistent for both in-sample and out-of-sample forecasts;(iii) the confidence intervals generated from 0.05th and 0.95th quantile regression models are good methods to forecast livestock price fluctuation. 展开更多

Quantile regression(QR) is proposed to examine the relationships between large-scale atmospheric variables and all parts of the distribution of daily precipitation amount at Beijing Station from 1960 to 2008. QR is also applied to evaluate the relationship between large-scale predictors and extreme precipitation(90th quantile) at 238 stations in northern China.Finally, QR is used to fit observed daily precipitation amounts for wet days at four sample stations. Results show that meridional wind and specific humidity at both 850 h Pa and 500 h Pa(V850, SH850, V500, and SH500) strongly affect all parts of the Beijing precipitation distribution during the wet season(April–September). Meridional wind, zonal wind, and specific humidity at only 850 h Pa(V850, U850, SH850) are significantly related to the precipitation distribution in the dry season(October–March). Impacts of these large-scale predictors on the daily precipitation amount with higher quantile become stronger, whereas their impact on light precipitation is negligible. In addition, SH850 has a strong relationship with wet-season extreme precipitation across the entire region, whereas the impacts of V850, V500, and SH500 are mainly in semi-arid and semi-humid areas. For the dry season, both SH850 and V850 are the major predictors of extreme precipitation in the entire region. Moreover, QR can satisfactorily simulate the daily precipitation amount at each station and for each season, if an optimum distribution family is selected. Therefore, QR is valuable for detecting the relationship between the large-scale predictors and the daily precipitation amount. 展开更多

Genomic prediction(GP)has become a valuable tool for predicting the performance of selection candidates for the next breeding cycle.A vast majority of statistical linear models on which GP is based rely on the assumption of normality of the residuals and therefore on the response variable itself.In this study,we propose to use Bayesian regularized quantile regression(BRQR)in the context of GP;the model has been successfully used in other research areas.We evaluated the prediction ability of the proposed model and compared it with the Bayesian ridge regression(BRR;equivalent to genomic best linear unbiased predictor,GBLUP).In addition,BLUP can be used with pedigree information obtained from the coefficient of coancestry(ABLUP).We have found that the prediction ability of BRQR is comparable to that of BRR and,in some cases,better;it also has the potential to efficiently deal with outliers.A program written in the R statistical package is available as Supplementary material. 展开更多

Scour has been widely accepted as a key reason for bridge failures.Bridges are susceptible and sensitive to the scour phenomenon,which describes the loss of riverbed sediments around the bridge supports because of flow.The carrying capacity of a deep-water foundation is influenced by the formation of a scour hole,which means that a severe scour can lead to a bridge failure without warning.Most of the current scour predictions are based on deterministic models,while other loads at bridges are usually provided as probabilistic values.To integrate scour factors with other loads in bridge design and research,a quantile regression model was utilized to estimate scour depth.Field data and experimental data from previous studies were collected to build the model.Moreover,scour estimations using the HEC-18 equation and the proposed method were compared.By using the“CCC(Calculate,Confirm,and Check)”procedure,the probabilistic concept could be used to calculate various scour depths with the targeted likelihood according to a specified chance of bridge failure.The study shows that with a sufficiently large and continuously updated database,the proposed model could present reasonable results and provide guidance for scour mitigation. 展开更多

An airborne multi-spectral camera was used in this study to estimate rice yields.The experimental data were achieved by obtaining a multi-spectral image of the rice canopy in an experimental field throughout the jointing stage(July,2017)and extracting five vegetation indices.Vegetation indices and rice growth parameter data were compared and analyzed.Effective predictors were screened by using significance analysis and quantile and ordinary least square(OLS)regression models estimating rice yields were constructed.The results showed that a quantile regression model based on normalized difference vegetation indices(NDVI)and rice yields performed was best forτ=0.7 quantile.Thus,NDVI was determined as an effective variable for the rice yield estimation during the jointing stage.The accuracy of the quantile regression estimation model was then assessed using RMES and MAPE test indicators.The yields by this approach had better results than those of an OLS regression estimation model and showed that quantile regression had practical applications and research significance in rice yields estimation. 展开更多

Climate change is described as a potentially catastrophic phenomenon with the capacity to disrupt agricultural production, economies, health systems, education, and infrastructure, among other systems. In Florida, climate change is a concern because of the state’s extensive coastline and its influence on the economy, as well as residents’ safety and well-being. As early as 2007, researchers forecasted that vulnerable wetlands, mangroves, fisheries, and coastal infrastructure in Florida may be significantly damaged or destroyed by 2060. Climate change communication (CCC) is described as a complex problem that requires several layers of attention, especially in achieving the desired outcome of behavior change. Previous research suggested that climate change communicators would be more effective if they understood their audiences and their communication capacities. The purpose of the study was to determine the impact of demographic factors on social communication for residents of Florida. A survey was used to collect the data through an address-based sampling (ABS) method, where a total of 318 usable responses were received from Florida residence 18 years or older. A latent construct for describing social communication (Social Communication Index [SCI]) was created as the dependent variable and was tested against eight variables using a quantile regression approach. Using quantiles in 0.1 intervals, the results showed that knowledge, age, income, newspaper use, urbanicity, and race affected the SCI in one or more quantiles. Social media, sex, and religiosity were insignificant throughout all quantiles. While most of the results align with previous research, there is the need for further probing into social communication on climate change to ensure that audience segments are provided with climate change information through the channels they primarily use. 展开更多

This paper is focused on the goodness-of-fit test of the functional linear composite quantile regression model.A nonparametric test is proposed by using the orthogonality of the residual and its conditional expectation under the null model.The proposed test statistic has an asymptotic standard normal distribution under the null hypothesis,and tends to infinity in probability under the alternative hypothesis,which implies the consistency of the test.Furthermore,it is proved that the test statistic converges to a normal distribution with nonzero mean under a local alternative hypothesis.Extensive simulations are reported,and the results show that the proposed test has proper sizes and is sensitive to the considered model discrepancies.The proposed methods are also applied to two real datasets. 展开更多

In this paper,the authors propose a frequentist model averaging method for composite quantile regression with diverging number of parameters.Different from the traditional model averaging for quantile regression which considers only a single quantile,the proposed model averaging estimator is based on multiple quantiles.The well-known delete-one cross-validation or jackknife approach is applied to estimate the model weights.The resultant jackknife model averaging estimator is shown to be asymptotically optimal in terms of minimizing the out-of-sample composite final prediction error.Simulation studies are conducted to demonstrate the finite sample performance of the new model averaging estimator.The proposed method is also applied to the analysis of the stock returns data and the wage data. 展开更多

Purpose–This study aimed to facilitate a rapid evaluation of track service status and vehicle ride comfort based on car body acceleration.Consequently,a low-cost,data-driven approach was proposed for analyzing speed-related acceleration limits in metro systems.Design/methodology/approach–A portable sensing terminal was developed to realize easy and efficient detection of car body acceleration.Further,field measurements were performed on a 51.95-km metro line.Data from 272 metro sections were tested as a case study,and a quantile regression method was proposed to fit the control limits of the car body acceleration at different speeds using the measured data.Findings–First,the frequency statistics of the measured data in the speed-acceleration dimension indicated that the car body acceleration was primarily concentrated within the constant speed stage,particularly at speeds of 15.4,18.3,and 20.9 m/s.Second,resampling was performed according to the probability density distribution of car body acceleration for different speed domains to achieve data balance.Finally,combined with the traditional linear relationship between speed and acceleration,the statistical relationships between the speed and car body acceleration under different quantiles were determined.We concluded the lateral/vertical quantiles of 0.8989/0.9895,0.9942/0.997,and 0.9998/0.993 as being excellent,good,and qualified control limits,respectively,for the lateral and vertical acceleration of the car body.In addition,regression lines for the speedrelated acceleration limits at other quantiles(0.5,0.75,2s,and 3s)were obtained.Originality/value–The proposed method is expected to serve as a reference for further studies on speedrelated acceleration limits in rail transit systems. 展开更多

In this paper,we focus on the partially linear varying-coefficient quantile regression with missing observations under ultra-high dimension,where the missing observations include either responses or covariates or the responses and part of the covariates are missing at random,and the ultra-high dimension implies that the dimension of parameter is much larger than sample size.Based on the B-spline method for the varying coefficient functions,we study the consistency of the oracle estimator which is obtained only using active covariates whose coefficients are nonzero.At the same time,we discuss the asymptotic normality of the oracle estimator for the linear parameter.Note that the active covariates are unknown in practice,non-convex penalized estimator is investigated for simultaneous variable selection and estimation,whose oracle property is also established.Finite sample behavior of the proposed methods is investigated via simulations and real data analysis. 展开更多

The identification of factors that may be forcing ecological observations to approach the upper boundary provides insight into potential mechanisms affecting driver-response relationships,and can help inform ecosystem management,but has rarely been explored.In this study,we propose a novel framework integrating quantile regression with interpretable machine learning.In the first stage of the framework,we estimate the upper boundary of a driver-response relationship using quantile regression.Next,we calculate“potentials”of the response variable depending on the driver,which are defined as vertical distances from the estimated upper boundary of the relationship to observations in the driver-response variable scatter plot.Finally,we identify key factors impacting the potential using a machine learning model.We illustrate the necessary steps to implement the framework using the total phosphorus(TP)-Chlorophyll a(CHL)relationship in lakes across the continental US.We found that the nitrogen to phosphorus ratio(N:P),annual average precipitation,total nitrogen(TN),and summer average air temperature were key factors impacting the potential of CHL depending on TP.We further revealed important implications of our findings for lake eutrophication management.The important role of N:P and TN on the potential highlights the co-limitation of phosphorus and nitrogen and indicates the need for dual nutrient criteria.Future wetter and/or warmer climate scenarios can decrease the potential which may reduce the efficacy of lake eutrophication management.The novel framework advances the application of quantile regression to identify factors driving observations to approach the upper boundary of driver-response relationships. 展开更多

This study examines how increasing international trade affects the skill wage gap in Turkey.There has been a rapid increase in international trade in Turkey after 2000.As international trade increases,goods produced with higher technologies have a higher share in overall exported products.All these developments raise a question:how does the improvement of technology levels in the Turkish manufacturing industry,together with the increasing demand for skilled workers,change the skill wage gap?To explore this issue,this study utilises the Structure of Earnings Survey Data by the Turkish Statistical Institute.To have more robust results,the quantile regression model is applied to estimate the skill wage gap.One of the most prominent findings of this study is a continuous increase in the skill wage gap even though specific information about firms and workers is controlled. 展开更多

Aiming at the wind power prediction problem,a wind power probability prediction method based on the quantile regression of a dilated causal convolutional neural network is proposed.With the developed model,the Adam stochastic gradient descent technique is utilized to solve the cavity parameters of the causal convolutional neural network under different quantile conditions and obtain the probability density distribution of wind power at various times within the following 200 hours.The presented method can obtain more useful information than conventional point and interval predictions.Moreover,a prediction of the future complete probability distribution of wind power can be realized.According to the actual data forecast of wind power in the PJM network in the United States,the proposed probability density prediction approach can not only obtain more accurate point prediction results,it also obtains the complete probability density curve prediction results for wind power.Compared with two other quantile regression methods,the developed technique can achieve a higher accuracy and smaller prediction interval range under the same confidence level. 展开更多

Based on the data-cutoff method,we study quantile regression in linear models,where the noise process is of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type with possible jumps.In single-level quantile regression,we allow the noise process to be heteroscedastic,while in composite quantile regression,we require that the noise process be homoscedastic so that the slopes are invariant across quantiles.Similar to the independent noise case,the proposed quantile estimators are root-n consistent and asymptotic normal.Furthermore,the adaptive least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)is applied for the purpose of variable selection.As a result,the quantile estimators are consistent in variable selection,and the nonzero coefficient estimators enjoy the same asymptotic distribution as their counterparts under the true model.Extensive numerical simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed approaches and foreign exchange rate data are analyzed for the illustration purpose. 展开更多

Recent experience has shown that interior-point methods using a log barrierapproach are far superior to classical simplex methods for computing solutions to large parametricquantile regression problems. In many large empirical applications, the design matrix has a verysparse structure. A typical example is the classical fixed-effect model for panel data where theparametric dimension of the model can be quite large, but the number of non-zero elements is quitesmall. Adopting recent developments in sparse linear algebra we introduce a modified version of theFrisch-Newton algorithm for quantile regression described in Portnoy and Koenker[28]. The newalgorithm substantially reduces the storage (memory) requirements and increases computational speed.The modified algorithm also facilitates the development of nonparametric quantile regressionmethods. The pseudo design matrices employed in nonparametric quantile regression smoothing areinherently sparse in both the fidelity and roughness penalty components. Exploiting the sparsestructure of these problems opens up a whole range of new possibilities for multivariate smoothingon large data sets via ANOVA-type decomposition and partial linear models. 展开更多

Length-biased data arise in many important fields, including epidemiological cohort studies, cancer screening trials and labor economics. Analysis of such data has attracted much attention in the literature. In this paper we propose a quantile regression approach for analyzing right-censored and length-biased data. We derive an inverse probability weighted estimating equation corresponding to the quantile regression to correct the bias due to length-bias sampling and informative censoring. This method can easily handle informative censoring induced by length-biased sampling. This is an appealing feature of our proposed method since it is generally difficult to obtain unbiased estimates of risk factors in the presence of length-bias and informative censoring. We establish the consistency and asymptotic distribution of the proposed estimator using empirical process techniques. A resampling method is adopted to estimate the variance of the estimator. We conduct simulation studies to evaluate its finite sample performance and use a real data set to illustrate the application of the proposed method. 展开更多

This paper studies estimation in partial functional linear quantile regression in which the dependent variable is related to both a vector of finite length and a function-valued random variable as predictor variables. The slope function is estimated by the functional principal component basis. The asymptotic distribution of the estimator of the vector of slope parameters is derived and the global convergence rate of the quantile estimator of unknown slope function is established under suitable norm. It is showed that this rate is optirnal in a minimax sense under some smoothness assumptions on the covariance kernel of the covariate and the slope function. The convergence rate of the mean squared prediction error for the proposed estimators is also established. Finite sample properties of our procedures are studied through Monte Carlo simulations. A real data example about Berkeley growth data is used to illustrate our proposed methodology. 展开更多
