Abstract

This article proposes a new approach for testing the equality of nonparametric quantile regression functions based on marked empirical processes. We develop test statistics that posses better Type I and power properties in comparison to all available procedures in the literature. Simulation results also indicate that our tests have superior local power properties over existing tests. A data analysis is given which highlights the usefulness of the proposed methodology.
