This paper presents an overview of the procedures that are involved in prediction with machine learning models with special emphasis on deep learning. We study suitable objective functions for prediction in high-dimensional settings and discuss the role of regularization methods in order to...

This paper proposes a functional coefficient quantile regression model with heterogeneous and time-varying regression coefficients and factor loadings. Estimation of the model coefficients is done in two stages. First, we estimate the unobserved common factors from a linear factor model with...
