In this paper, we are interested in estimating several quantiles simultaneously in a regression context via the Bayesian approach. Assuming that the error term has an asymmetric Laplace distribution and using the relation between two distinct quantiles of this distribution, we propose a simple fully Bayesian method that satisfies the noncrossing property of quantiles. For implementation, we use Metropolis-Hastings within Gibbs algorithm to sample unknown parameters from their full conditional distribution. The performance and the competitiveness of the underlying method with other alternatives are shown in simulated examples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
