中文摘要:

      含有协变量缺失的数据缺失问题是现代统计分析中的热点之一.当缺失数据中同时存在厚尾,偏斜和异方差问题时则更加难以处理.为此,本文提出一种逆概率加权分位回归估计来研究响应和协变量之间的关系.与经典估计方法相比具有明显优势,一方面,该估计量使用了所有可用的数据,并且允许缺失的协变量与响应高度相关;另一方面,该估计量在所有分位数水平上满足一致性和渐近正态性.通过模拟验证了该方法的在有限样本下的有效性,进一步将该方法推广到线性多元回归模型和非参数回归模型.

英文摘要:

      The lack of covariate data is one of the hotspots of modern statistical analysis. It often appears in surveys or interviews, and becomes more complex in the presence of heavy tailed, skewed, and heteroscedastic data. In this sense, a robust quantile regression method is more concerned. This paper presents an inverse weighted quantile regression method to explore the relationship between response and covariates. This method has several advantages over the naive estimator. On the one hand, it uses all available data and the missing covariates are allowed to be heavily correlated with the response; on the other hand, the estimator is uniform and asymptotically normal at all quantile levels. The effectiveness of this method is verified by simulation. Finally, in order to illustrate the effectiveness of this method, we extend it to the more general case, multivariate case and nonparametric case.
