The weighted least absolute deviation (WLAD) regression estimation method and the adaptive least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) are combined to achieve robust parameter estimation and variable selection in regression simultaneously. Compared with the LAD-LASSO method, the...

In this paper we generalize the median regression method in order to make it applicable to systems of regression equations. Given the existence of proper systemwise medians of the errors from different equations, we apply the weighted median regression with the weights obtained from the...

In this paper we generalize the median regression method to be applicable to system of regression equations, in particular SURE models. Giving the existence of proper system wise medians of the residuals from different equations, we apply the weighted median regression with the weights obtained...

Purpose –This paper aims to investigate whether there is heterogeneity in the relationship between the bank loan interest rate and its determinants using the quantile regression method and to reconcile some conflicting findings in prior literature. Design/methodology/approach –First, the...
