Giovedì 8 Gennaio alle ore 16.00 in Aula B -- Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica il Prof. Matteo Bottai (Institute of Environmental Medicine - Stockholm) terrà un seminario dal titolo:

Parametric modeling of quantile regression coefficients

Tutti gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati.

Abstract

Quantile regression enables to estimate conditional quantiles of an outcome given a set of covariates. An example is median regression. 

The first part of the seminar briefly introduces quantile regression and a range of applications. The second part presents a novel method for estimating parametric models for quantile regression coefficients, which enables to model efficiently the entire quantile regression process. The proposed estimator has  been implemented in an R package.
