On super level-sets of conditional multivariate densities for multiple-output quantile regression Thursday, April 20th, 4 pm—5:30
pm Institute for Advanced Studies, Josefstädter Straße 39, 1080 Vienna, Salon
About the Event
The simultaneous study of quantiles of multiple response variables requires a vector-valued approach to regression quantiles. However, common proposals
of multivariate quantiles do not sufficiently control the probability content and thus, lack a clear probabilistic interpretation. We suggest superlevel-sets of conditional multivariate densities as an alternative multivariate quantile definition. Hence, the
quantile is a function of the conditioning variables like in quantile regression. We show that such a conditional superlevel-set quantile has favorable mathematical and intuitive features.
We derive the quantile for a specified conditional or marginal density from an (overfitted) multivariate Gaussian
mixture model to guarantee logically consistent (i.e., non-crossing) conditional quantile level sets. We demonstrate recovery of the true conditional quantiles for distributions with correlation, heteroskedasticity, or asymmetry and apply our method to a study
on household expenditures.
