The exon tiling array offers a high throughput technology to search for aberrant splicing in biomedical research, but few methods of analysis for splicing detection have been tested both statistically and empirically. Noisy measurements on nonresponsive probe selection regions and outlying...

We develop a new multiple imputation approach for <italic>M</italic>-regression models with censored covariates. Instead of specifying parametric likelihoods, our method imputes the censored covariates by their conditional quantiles given the observed data, where the conditional quantiles are estimated through...

Estimation of conditional quantiles at very high or low tails is of interest in numerous applications. Quantile regression provides a convenient and natural way of quantifying the impact of covariates at different quantiles of a response distribution. However, high tails are often associated...
