Semiparametric estimation of additive quantile regression models by two-fold penalty
In this article, we propose a model selection and semiparametric estimation method for additive models in the context of quantile regression problems. In particular, we are interested in finding nonzero components as well as linear components in the conditional quantile function. Our approach is bas...

The most important contribution is that this is achieved without the need for specifying which covariates enter the linear part, solving one serious practical issue for models with partially linear additive structure.
