Recent Research


Much of my research deals with quantile regression. This work aims to provide a comprehensive approach to the estimation of conditional quantile functions, thus providing a more complete analysis of the stochastic relationship between economic variables than that provided by classical linear regression which restricts attention to estimation and inference about conditional mean functions. Recent work focuses more on nonparametric density estimation with penalty methods, and most recently empirical Bayes methods.
