Abstract

This paper concerns robust and efficient direction identification for a groupwise additive multiple-index model, in which each additive function has a single-index structure. Interestingly, without involving non-parametric approach, we show that the directions of all the index parameter vectors can be recovered by a simple linear composite quantile regression (CQR). As a specific application, a iterative-free CQR estimation procedure for the partially linear single-index model is proposed. Furthermore, it can also be used to develop a penalized CQR procedure for variable selection in the high-dimensional settings. The new method has superiority in robustness and efficiency by inheriting the advantage of the CQR approach. Simulation results and real-data analysis also confirm our method.
