Abstract
The main purpose of the present paper is to investigate the problem of the nonparametric estimation of the expectile regression in which the response variable is scalar while the covariate is a random function. More precisely, an estimator is constructed by using the k Nearest Neighbor procedures (kNN). The main contribution of this study is the establishment of the Uniform consistency in Number of Neighbors (UNN) of the constructed estimator. The usefulness of our result for the smoothing parameter automatic selection is discussed. Short simulation results show that the finite sample performance of the proposed estimator is satisfactory in moderate sample sizes. We finally examine the implementation of this model in practice with a real data in financial risk analysis.
A Mathematical developments
This section is devoted to the proofs of our results. The previously presented notation continues to be used in the following.
Proof of Theorem 3.1
Let us introduce, for
By simple analytical arguments we prove, under the first part of (A2), that there exists
Thus, the result (3.1) is consequence of the following statement:
To prove this last, we follow the same ideas of [33]. Indeed, we write, for a fixed
It is shown in [32], that
So, we have only to show that
where
For this, we use the following decomposition:
where
with
and
The proof of Theorem 3.1 becomes a straightforward consequence of the following lemmas.
Lemma 1.
Under assumptions (A1) and (A3)–(A6), we have, as
and
where
Corollary 4.
Under the assumptions of Lemma 1, there exists a positive constant C such that
Lemma 2.
Under assumptions (A2), (A3) and (A5), we have, as
For the sake of shortness, the proof of the intermediate results are given in brevity. The proof of the second case of Lemma 1, and Corollary 4 and Lemma 2 are omitted.
Proof of Lemma 1
We use the compactness of
with
Furthermore, the monotony of
It readily follows that
Making use of the assumption (A6), we can write
Thus, we have only to prove that
Notice that we have
Now, we look at the quantity
The proof of the latter follows similar ideas as in [24] which are based on the Bernstein’s inequality for the empirical processes
where
We readily infer that
An appropriate choice of
