Abstract
Abstract Quantiles and expectiles have been receiving much attention in many areas such as economics, ecology, and finance. By means of L p optimization, both quantiles and expectiles can be embedded in a more general class of M‐quantiles. Inspired by this point of view, we propose a generalized regression called L p ‐quantile regression to study the whole conditional distribution of a response variable given predictors in a heterogeneous regression setting. In this article, we focus on the variable selection aspect of high‐dimensional penalized L p ‐quantile regression, which provides a flexible application and makes a complement to penalized quantile and expectile regressions. This generalized penalized L p ‐quantile regression steers an advantageous middle course between ordinary penalized quantile and expectile regressions without sacrificing their virtues too much when 1 < p < 2, that is, offers versatility and flexibility with these ‘quantile‐like’ and robustness properties. We develop the penalized L p ‐quantile regression with scad and adaptive lasso penalties. With properly chosen tuning parameters, we show that the proposed estimators display oracle properties. Numerical studies and real data analysis demonstrate the competitive performance of the proposed penalized L p ‐quantile regression when 1 < p < 2, and they combine the robustness properties of quantile regression with the efficiency of penalized expectile regression. These properties would be helpful for practitioners.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
