QR.cd: Quantile Regression (QR) use Coordinate Descent (cd)...

In cqrReg: Quantile, Composite Quantile Regression and Regularized Versions

Quantile Regression (QR) use Coordinate Descent (cd) Algorithms

Description

The algorithm base on greedy coordinate descent and Edgeworth's for ordinary l_1 regression.

Usage

QR.cd(X,y,tau,beta,maxit,toler)

Arguments

X	the design matrix
y	response variable
tau	quantile level
beta	initial value of estimate coefficient (default naive guess by least square estimation)
maxit	maxim iteration (default 200)
toler	the tolerance critical for stop the algorithm (default 1e-3)

Value

a list structure is with components

beta	the vector of estimated coefficient
b	intercept

Note

QR.cd(x,y,tau) work properly only if the least square estimation is good.

Examples

set.seed(1)
n=100
p=2
a=rnorm(n*p, mean = 1, sd =1)
x=matrix(a,n,p)
beta=rnorm(p,1,1)
beta=matrix(beta,p,1)
y=x%*%beta-matrix(rnorm(n,0.1,1),n,1)
# x is 1000*10 matrix, y is 1000*1 vector, beta is 10*1 vector
QR.cd(x,y,0.1)
