Data integration in high dimension with multiple quantiles
share
This article deals with the analysis of high dimensional data that come from multiple sources (experiments) and thus have different possibly correlated responses, but share the same set of predictors. The measurements of the predictors may be different across experiments. We introduce a new regression approach with multiple quantiles to select those predictors that affect any of the responses at any quantile level and estimate the nonzero parameters. Our estimator is a minimizer of a penalized objective function, which aggregates the data from the different experiments. We establish model selection consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimator. In addition we present an information criterion, which can also be used for consistent model selection. Simulations and two data applications illustrate the advantages of our method, which takes the group structure induced by the predictors across experiments and quantile levels into account.
