QregBB

The R package QregBB accompanies the paper:

Gregory, K.B., Lahiri, S.N., Nordman, D.J. (2018). A smooth block bootstrap for quantile regression with time series. Annals of Statistics 46(3), 1138-1166

Installation

You can install the development version of QregBB from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("gregorkb/QregBB")

Examples

The main function in the package is QregBB, which performs the MBB, SMBB, ETBB, and SETBB bootstrap procedures (all at once) for estimating the sampling distributions of quantile regression estimators with time series data.

library(QregBB)

n <- 50
X1 <- arima.sim(model=list(ar=c(.7,.1)),n)
X2 <- arima.sim(model=list(ar=c(.2,.1)),n)
e <- arima.sim(model=list(ar=c(.7,.1)),n)
Y <- X1 + e
X <- cbind(rep(1,n),X1,X2)
QregBB.out <- QregBB(Y,X,tau=.5,l=4,B=500,h=NULL,alpha=0.05)

QregBB.out

The function getNPPIblksizesQR implements the block size selection method described in Gregory et al. (2018) for MBB, SMBB, ETBB, and SETBB.

blksize.out <- getNPPIblksizesQR(Y,X,tau=.5)
blksize.out
