The OLS method estimation is based on a normal distribution, so it is not appropriate to analyze a number of data that are not symmetrical or contain outliers. Therefore, quantile regression was developed which was not affected by outliers. This study compares quantile regression with OLS in the case of factors affecting malaria in Indonesia. The results show that the value of the Quantil Regression model is 0,832 and the MSE value is 0,182. In addition, the OLS model obtained a value of 0,681 and an MSE value of 0,231. So we get the conclusion that the best model is a quantile regression model. Further results were obtained that the main factors causing the spread of malaria in Indonesia were the factor of livable houses, poor population factors and physician factors.

This work proposes a new distribution defined on the unit interval. It is obtained by a novel transformation of a normal random variable involving the hyperbolic secant function and its inverse. The use of such a function in distribution theory has not received much attention in the literature, and may be of interest for theoretical and practical purposes. Basic statistical properties of the newly defined distribution are derived, including moments, skewness, kurtosis and order statistics. For the related model, the parametric estimation is examined through different methods. We assess the performance of the obtained estimates by two complementary simulation studies. Also, the quantile regression model based on the proposed distribution is introduced. Applications to three real datasets show that the proposed models are quite competitive in comparison to well-established models.

An important issue is that the respiratory mortality may be a result of air pollution which can be measured by the following variables: temperature, relative humidity, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrocarbons, ozone, and particulates. The usual way is to fit a model using the ordinary least squares regression, which has some assumptions, also known as Gauss-Markov assumptions, on the error term showing white noise process of the regression model. However, in many applications, especially for this example, these assumptions are not satisfied. Therefore, in this study, a quantile regression approach is used to model the respiratory mortality using the mentioned explanatory variables. Moreover, improved estimation techniques such as preliminary testing and shrinkage strategies are also obtained when the errors are autoregressive. A Monte Carlo simulation experiment, including the quantile penalty estimators such as lasso, ridge, and elastic net, is designed to evaluate the performances of the proposed techniques. Finally, the theoretical risks of the listed estimators are given.

This paper studies the asymptotic properties of the nonlinear quantile regression model under general assumptions on the error process, which is allowed to be heterogeneous and mixing. We derive the consistency and asymptotic normality of regression quantiles under mild assumptions. First-order asymptotic theory is completed by a discussion of consistent covariance estimation.
