Abstract

We consider nonparametric quantile regression using B-splines and derive local asymptotic properties of the estimator. As a by-product, we establish the convergence rate of the estimator in L norm which seems to be missing in the literature. Simulations are carried out to investigate the coverage of the pointwise confidence interval.
