Functional partially linear quantile regression model

This paper considers estimation of a functional partially quantile regression model whose parameters include the infinite dimensional function as well as the slope parameters. We show asymptotical normality of the estimator of the finite dimensional parameter, and derive the rate of convergence of the estimator of the infinite dimensional slope function. In addition, we show the rate of the mean squared prediction error for the proposed estimator. A simulation study is provided to illustrate the numerical performance of the resulting estimators.
