In this paper, we will consider the semiparametric regression model introduced by Duan and Li (1991). The response variable y will be linked to an index x′β (i.e. a linear combination of the explanatory variables x) through an unknown function. In order to estimate the direction of the...

Censored regression models have received a great deal of attention in both the theoretical and applied statistics literature. Here, we consider a model in which the response variable is censored but not the covariates. We propose a new estimator of the conditional quantiles based on the local...

Conditional quantiles are required in various economic, biomedical or industrial problems. Lack of objective basis for ordering multivariate observations is a major problem in extending the notion of quantiles or conditional quantiles (also called regression quantiles) in a multidimensional...

Microarrays are part of a new class of biotechnologies which allow the monitoring of expression levels of thousands of genes simultaneously. In microarray data analysis, the comparison of gene-expression profiles with respect to different conditions and the selection of biologically interesting...
