Generalized Analysis-of-variance-type Test for the Single-index Quantile Model

Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with a test for the index parameter and index function in the single-index model. Based on the estimates obtained by the quantile regression, we extend the generalized analysis-of-variance-type test to the single-index model. We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the proposed test and demonstrate that its limiting null distribution follows an asymptotically χ 2 -distribution. The simulation studies and real data applications are conducted to illustrate the finite sample performance of the proposed methods .
