| Summary: | In this paper, we propose a smoothing estimation method for censored quantile regression models. The method associates the convolutional smoothing estimation with the loss function, which is quadratically derivable and globally convex by using a non-negative kernel function. Thus, the parameters of the regression model can be computed by using the gradient-based iterative algorithm. We demonstrate the convergence speed and asymptotic properties of the smoothing estimation for large samples in high dimensions. Numerical simulations show that the smoothing estimation method for censored quantile regression models improves the estimation accuracy, computational speed, and robustness over the classical parameter estimation method. The simulation results also show that the parametric methods perform better than the KM method in estimating the distribution function of the censored variables. Even if there is an error setting in the distribution estimation, the smoothing estimation does not fluctuate too much. |
