[R] Quantile Regression - Testing for Non-causalities in quantiles

2012-07-15 Thread stefan23
Dear all,
I am searching for a way to compute a test comparable to Chuang et al.
("Causality in Quantiles and Dynamic Stock
Return-Volume Relations").  The aim of this test is to check wheter the
coefficient of a quantile regression granger-causes Y in a quantile range. I
have nearly computed everything but I am searching for an estimator of the
density of the distribution at several points of the distribution. As the
quantreg-package of Roger Koenker is also able to compute confidence
intervalls for quantile regression (which also contain data concerning the
estimated density) I wanted to ask wether someone could tell me if it is
possible to "extract" the density of the underlying distribution by using
the quantreg package.
I hope my question is not to confusing, thank you very, very much in
adavanve I appreciate every comment=)
Cheers
Stefan

[R] quantreg Wald-Test

2012-07-28 Thread stefan23
Dear all,
I know that my question is somewhat special but I tried several times to
solve the problems on my own but I am unfortunately not able to compute the
following test statistic using the quantreg package. Well, here we go, I
appreciate every little comment or help as I really do not know how to tell
R what I want it to do^^
My situation is as follows: I have a data set containing a (dependent)
vector Y and the regressor X. My aim is to check whether the two variables
do not granger-cause each other in quantiles. I started to compute via
quantreg for a single tau:= q:
rq(Y_t~Y_(t-1)+Y_(t-2)+...+X_(t-1)+X_(t-2)+...,tau=q) 
This gives me the quantile regression coefficients. Now I want to check
whether all the coefficients of X are equal to zero (for this specific tau).
Can I do this by applying rq.anova ? I have already asked a similiar
question but I am not sure if anova is really calculating this for me..
Currently I am calculating
fitunrestricted=rq(Y_t~Y_(t-1)+Y_(t-2)+...+X_(t-1)+X_(t-2)+...,tau=q) 
fitrestrited=rq(Y_t~Y_(t-1)+Y_(t-2)+...,tau=q)
anova(fitrestricted,fitunrestricted)
If this is correct can you tell me how the test value is calculated in this
case, or in other words:
My next step is going to replicate this procedure for a whole range of
quantiles (say for tau in [a,b]). To apply a sup-Wald-test I am wondering if
it is correct to choose the maximum of the different test values and to
simulate the critical values by using the data tabulated in Andrees(1993)
(or simulate the vectors of independent Brownian Motions)...please feel free
to comment, I am really looking forward to your help!
Thank you very much 
Cheers
Stefan

Re: [R] quantreg Wald-Test

2012-08-03 Thread stefan23
He folks,
Thank you very much so far. Of course this forum is not intended to be a
substitute for reading the literature, maybe I just posed the question in a
way to general. I understand that rq.anovar produces the wald-test proposed
in 
"Tests of Linear Hypotheses and L1 Estimation" (Koenker, Basset). What I do
not really get is how to extend this test to the sup-Wald test proposed in
"Goodness of Fit and Related Inference Processes for Quantile Regression"
(Koenker, Machado). So far I do not really understand whether the anova
algorithm prompts the necessary data: I want to use the Test-Statistic for
different taus and afterwards choose the maximum for the values in the
choosen intervall. So to make my question more straightforward: How can I
get the test-value (not the p-value)? Thank you very much for your help,
cheers
Stefan

[R] plot(summary) quantreg - Not all outputs needed

2012-05-24 Thread stefan23
Hi Folks,
I am currently trying to present some results I obtained by using the
quantreg package developed by Roger Koenker. After calculating
fit<-summary(rq(Y~X1+X2, tau=2:98/100) ) the function plot(fit) presents a
really nice the results by showing the values for all "regressors" in the
given interval tau. But in my case, I only need the output of a single
variable, say X1 and I am not interested in plotting the others. Is there a
way to hide the other graphics?
Thank you very much for your help,

Cheers
Stefan

[R] R quantreg - supWald Test

2012-05-28 Thread stefan23
He folks=)
I am trying to compute a supWald Test in R, trying to show that a subset of
my regressors is significantly different from 0 but I am not able to compute
this test. My sample looks as follows: I am regressing fit1 <-
(Y~X1+X2+X3,tau=tau). I know that if I want to show that e.g. X2 is
significantly different from zero, quantreg package calculates the
corresponding p-Value. But I am trying to test for the linear restriction
that X2 and X3 are both  different from 0. The test statistic is easy to
compute, the only thing that remains is the standard error...and
unfortunately I do not have a clue how to compute it as it contains a
consistent estimator of the density of Y at the tau-th Quantile...
Thank you very much for you help

cheers 
Stefan

[R] R quantreg anova: How to change summary se-type

2012-05-28 Thread stefan23
He folks=)
I want to check whether a coefficient has an impact on a quantile regression
(by applying the sup-wald test for a given quantile range [0.05,0.95].
Therefore I am doing the following calculations:
a=0;
for (i in 5:95/100){
fitrestricted=rq(Y~X1+X2,tau=i)
tifunrestrited=rq(Y~X1+X2+X3,tau=i)
a[i]=anova(fitrestricted,fitunrestricted)$table$Tn) #gives the Test-Value
}
supW=max(a)

As anova is using the summary.rq function I want to change the Standard
error method used (default: se="nid" leads to mistakes, I prefer se="ker").
Do you know how to handle this information in the anova syntax?
Thank you very much
Stefan

[R] R quantreg - symmetry test - bootstrap SE

2012-05-29 Thread stefan23
He folks,
I want to use quantile regression for doing a test of symmetrie of a
distribution. Following Buchinsky I want to test, whether the square of \tau
= \beta(p)+\beta(1-p)-2*\beta(0.5) (\beta(\tau) is the estimated slope
parameter for quantile \tau).Unfortunately I do not know how to implement
design bootstrap matrix for calculating the standard error. Do you know if
there is an existent package computing the necessesary statistics for me? Or
do you have an idea how to calculate the standard error?
I know that this question contains several big issues and I am very sorry
that it is not possible for me to do it for my self or at least to present
some parts of it...thank you very, very much for every comment!

Cheers
Stefan
