The tail behavior of the least-squares estimator in the linear regression model was studied in He et al. (Econometrica 58 (1990) 1195) under a fixed design for finite n. We now consider a random design matrix Xn and the case n--[infinity] and study the probability with [gamma]n=F-1(1-1/n), a...

Tests based on the quantile regression process can be formulated like the classical Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Cramer-von-Mises tests of goodness-of-fit employing the theory of Bessel processes as in Kiefer (1959). However, it is frequently desirable to formulate hypotheses involving unknown...
