A tree-structured linear and quantile regression framework is proposed for the analysis and modeling of equity market returns. The approach is based on the idea of a binary tree, where every terminal node parameterizes a local regression model for a specific partition of the data. A Bayesian...

This paper extends the complete subset linear regression framework to a quantile regression setting. We employ complete subset combinations of quantile forecasts in order to construct robust and accurate equity premium predictions. Our recursive algorithm that selects, in real time, the best...

We propose a quantile regression approach to equity premium forecasting. Robust point forecasts are generated by both fixed and time-varying weighting schemes, thus exploiting the entire distributional information associated with each predictor. Further gains are achieved by incorporating the...
