Using an asymmetric Laplace distribution, which provides a mechanism for Bayesian inference of quantile regression models, we develop a fully Bayesian approach to fitting single-index models in conditional quantile regression. In this work, we use a Gaussian process prior for the unknown nonparametric link function and a Laplace distribution on the index vector, with the latter motivated by the recent popularity of the Bayesian lasso idea. We design a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for…

Bayesian quantile regression for partially linear additive models
TLDR
A semiparametric Bayesian estimation and model selection approach for partially linear additive models in conditional quantile regression with advantage that nonlinear, linear and zero function components can be separated automatically and simultaneously during model fitting without the need of pre-specification or parameter tuning.
Posterior Inference in Bayesian Quantile Regression with Asymmetric Laplace Likelihood
TLDR
It is demonstrated that a simple adjustment to the covariance matrix of the posterior chain leads to asymptotically valid posterior inference, and simulation results confirm that the posterior inference is an attractive alternative to other asymPTotic approximations in quantile regression, especially in the presence of censored data.
Bayesian Tobit quantile regression with single-index models
Based on the Bayesian framework of utilizing a Gaussian prior for the univariate nonparametric link function and an asymmetric Laplace distribution (ALD) for the residuals, we develop a Bayesian…
Bayesian elastic net single index quantile regression
ABSTRACT Single index model conditional quantile regression is proposed in order to overcome the dimensionality problem in nonparametric quantile regression. In the proposed method, the Bayesian…
Bayesian nonparametric modelling of the link function in the single-index model using a Bernstein–Dirichlet process prior
TLDR
The Bernstein–Dirichlet process prior is modified to allow for an approximation of the unknown link function in the single-index model (SIM), and instead of the usual Gaussian distribution, the error term is assumed to be asymmetric Laplace distributed which increases the flexibility and robustness of the SIM.

Posterior Consistency of Bayesian Quantile Regression Based on the Misspecified Asymmetric Laplace Density
TLDR
An asymptotic justication for the widely used and em- pirically veried approach of assuming an asymmetric Laplace distribution for the response in Bayesian Quantile Regression by establishing posterior consistency and deriving the rate of convergence under the ALD misspecication.
Inference with Normal-Jeffreys Prior Distributions in Quantile Regression
Decades after its discussion in (Koenker and Bassett, 1978), quantile regression (QR) has been the topic of great practical applications in many areas: economics, ecology, biology and so on. In this…

In this paper, we discuss a fully Bayesian quantile inference using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method for longitudinal data models with random effects. Under the assumption of error term subject…
Gibbs sampling methods for Bayesian quantile regression
TLDR
A simple and efficient Gibbs sampling algorithm for fitting the quantile regression model based on a location-scale mixture representation of the asymmetric Laplace distribution is developed and it is shown that the resulting Gibbs sampler can be accomplished by sampling from either normal or generalized inverse Gaussian distribution.

This paper is a study of the application of Bayesian exponentially tilted empirical likelihood to inference about quantile regressions. In the case of simple quantiles we show the exact form for the…
Bayesian Semiparametric Modelling in Quantile Regression
TLDR
A Bayesian semiparametric methodology for quantile regression modelling that allows the shape of the error density to adapt to the data and thus provide more reliable predictive inference than models based on parametric error distributions.
The Bayesian Lasso
The Lasso estimate for linear regression parameters can be interpreted as a Bayesian posterior mode estimate when the regression parameters have independent Laplace (i.e., double-exponential) priors.…

TLDR
This paper proposes a flexible Bayesian quantile regression model that assumes that the error distribution is an infinite mixture of Gaussian densities subject to a stochastic constraint that enables inference on the quantile of interest.
