TITLE: | Quantile Regression for Extraordinarily Large Data |
Abstract
One complexity of massive data comes from the accumulating errors that are often unknown and may even have varying shapes as data grows. In this talk, we consider a general quantile-based modelling that even allows the unknown error distribution to be arbitrarily different across all sub-populations. A delicate analysis on the computational-and-statistical tradeoff is further carried out based on nonparametric sieve estimation.
