Abstract

Quantile regression methods have been widely used in many research areas in recentyears. However conventional estimation methods for quantile regression models do notguarantee that the estimated quantile curves will be non-crossing. While there are variousmethods in the literature to deal with this...

However conventional estimation methods for quantile regression models do notguarantee that the estimated quantile curves will be non-crossing.

Note that different methods may use different subspaces of thespace of model parameters. This paper establishes a relationship between the monotonicityof the estimated conditional quantiles and the comonotonicity of the model parameters.We develope a novel quasi-Bayesian method for parameter estimation which can be usedto deal with both time series and independent statistical data.
