Penalised Spatial Quantile Regression: Application to Air Quality Data
摘要
This article explores the application of quantile regression techniques to capture non-standard tail behaviours in spatially correlated data, typically encountered in environmental and climate sciences. In particular, we propose extensions of penalised spatial quantile regression models, to accommodate spatio-temporal data, as well as simultaneous estimates of spatial quantile surfaces. Through a real data application in the Lombardy region, we demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed models in analysing measurements of NO \(_2\) concentrations, showcasing the utility of quantile regression, where the spatial mean provides poor or little information on the phenomenon under study.
