Shrinkage quantile regression for panel data with multiple structural breaks
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We consider a shrinkage quantile regression model for high‐dimensional panel data with multiple structural breaks. The structural breaks are assumed to be common across all individuals, but may vary across different quantile levels while sharing an identical location shift effect. We impose an L1 penalty on the individual effects and an L1‐type fusion penalty to estimate both the slope coefficients and the structural breaks by combining information at multiple quantile levels. The proposed method can detect “partial” changes of the regression coefficients and consistently estimate both the number and dates of the breaks with probability tending to 1. We establish the asymptotic properties of the proposed regression coefficient estimators as well as their post‐selection counterparts, where the dimensionality of the covariates is allowed to diverge. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method works well in finite‐sample cases. Using the proposed method, we obtain many interesting results by analyzing a dataset concerning environmental Kuznets curves.

Direct model labels (unvalidated)
Per-model category and study-design labels from the labeling rounds. They are machine output, unvalidated, and the disagreement between models ships as data. No study design here is MEDLINE-validated yet.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedLabeled directly by 3 models reading the full record.
