This paper proposes a weighted least squares support vector machine for asymmetric least squares regression. This method achieves nonlinear prediction power, while making no assumption on the underlying probability distributions. The cross validation function is introduced to choose optimal hyperparameters in the procedure. Experimental results are then presented which indicate the performance of the proposed model.

In this paper, we consider the asymptotic properties of asymmetric least squares estimators for nonlinear regression models. This paper provides sufficient conditions for strong consistency and asymptotic normality of the proposed estimators and derives asymptotic relative efficiency of the pro-posed estimators to the regression quantile estimators. We give some examples and results of a Monte Carlo simulation to compare the asymmetric least squares estimators with the regression quantile estimators.

The least squares method is usually applied when estimating the parameters in the regression models. However the least square estimator is not very efficient when the distribution of the error is skewed. In this paper, we propose the asymmetric least square estimator for a particular nonlinear time series regression model, and give the simple and practical sufficient conditions for the strong consistency of the estimators.

This paper deals with the strong consistency of the asymmetric least squares for the nonlinear censored regression models which includes dependent variables cut off midway by any of external conditions, and provide the sufficient conditions which ensure the strong consistency of proposed estimators of the censored regression models. One example is given to illustrate the application of the main result.

We consider adaptive L-estimation of estimating slope parameter in regression model. The proposed estimator is simple extension of trimmed least squares estimator proposed by ruppert and carroll. The efficiency of the proposed estimator is especially well compared with usual least squares estimator, least absolute value estimator, and M-estimators designed for asymmetric distributions under asymmetric error distributions.

In regression model, we estimate the unknown parameters by using various methods. There are the least squares method which is the most general, the least absolute deviation method, the regression quantile method and the asymmetric least squares method. In this paper, we will compare each others with two cases: firstly the theoretical comparison in the asymptotic sense and then the practical comparison using Monte Carlo simulation for a small sample size.

In regression model we estimate the unknown parameters using various methods. There are the least squares method which is the most general, the least absolute deviation, the regression quantile and the asymmetric least squares method. In this paper, we will compare each others with two case: to begin with the theoretical comparison in the asymptotic sense, and then the practical comparison using Monte Carlo simulation for a small sample size.

In this paper we consider the problem of testing statistical hypotheses for unknown parameters in nonlinear regression models and propose three asymptotically equivalent tests based on regression quantiles estimators, which are Wald test, Lagrange Multiplier test and Likelihood Ratio test. We also derive the asymptotic distributions of the three test statistics both under the null hypotheses and under a sequence of local alternatives and verify that the asymptotic relative efficiency of the proposed test statistics with classical test based on least squares depends on the error distributions of the regression models. We give some examples to illustrate that the test based on the regression quantiles estimators performs better than the test based on the least squares estimators of the least absolute deviation estimators when the disturbance has asymmetric and heavy-tailed distribution.

This paper deals with the asymptotic properties for statistical inferences of the parameters in nonlinear regression models. As an optimal criterion for robust estimators of the regression parameters, the regression quantile method is proposed. This paper defines the regression quintile estimators in the nonlinear models and provides simple and practical sufficient conditions for the asymptotic normality of the proposed estimators when the parameter space is compact. The efficiency of the proposed estimator is especially well compared with least squares estimator, least absolute deviation estimator under asymmetric error distribution.

The unknown parameters in regression models are usually estimated by using various existing methods. There are several existing methods, such as the least squares method, which is the most common one, the least absolute deviation method, the regression quantile method, and the asymmetric least squares method. For the nonlinear time series regression models, which do not satisfy the general conditions, we will compare them in two ways: 1) a theoretical comparison in the asymptotic sense and 2) an empirical comparison using Monte Carlo simulation for a small sample size.
