QR.mm: Quantile Regression (QR) use Majorize and Minimize (mm)...

In cqrReg: Quantile, Composite Quantile Regression and Regularized Versions

Quantile Regression (QR) use Majorize and Minimize (mm) algorithm

Description

The algorithm majorizing the objective function by a quadratic function followed by minimizing that quadratic.

Usage

QR.mm(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.mm(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.mm(x,y,0.1)
