报告题目：General matching quantiles M-estimation
报告摘要：In this talk, we first describe the background/motivation of matching quantiles estimation (MQE). After it, we briefly introduce M-estimation which is a robust alternative to the ordinary least-squares. Then we present a matching quantiles M-estimation (MQME) method. Since the number of variables may be large in many real problems, a `sparse' representation is highly desirable. We thus integrate the proposed MQME with adaptive Lasso for selecting informative variables. In order to compute MQME, we develop an iterative algorithm. Moreover, we show that the (sparse) matching quantiles M-estimator possesses the property of asymptotic consistency. Our simulations demonstrate the efficient finite-sample performance of the proposed method. We end this talk by presenting an illustrative real case study.
