Distributed estimation based on different sources of observations has drawn attention in the modern statistical learning. In practice, due to the expensive cost or time‐consuming process to collect data in some cases, the sample size on each local site can be small, but the dimension of covariates is large and may be far larger than the sample size on each site. In this article, we focus on the distributed...
In this article, we investigate parameter estimation, kink points testing and statistical inference for a longitudinal multikink expectile regression model. The estimators for the kink locations and regression coefficients are obtained by using a bootstrap restarting iterative algorithm to avoid local minima. A backward selection procedure based on a modified BIC is applied to estimate the number...
