Models with single-index structures are among the many existing popular semiparametric approaches for either the conditional mean or the conditional variance. This paper focuses on a single-index model for the conditional quantile. We propose an adaptive estimation procedure and an iterative...

We use local polynomial fitting to estimate the nonparametric M-regression function for strongly mixing stationary processes {(<italic>Y</italic>, <italic>null</italic>)}. We establish a strong uniform consistency rate for the Bahadur representation of estimators of the regression function and its derivatives. These results are...
