Spatial Quantile Autoregressive Model: A Review
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.33095/45aqgm03Abstract
This paper is specifically a detailed review of the Spatial Quantile Autoregressive (SARQR) model that refers to the incorporation of quantile regression models into spatial autoregressive models to facilitate an improved analysis of the characteristics of spatially dependent data. The relevance of SARQR is emphasized in most applications, including but not limited to the fields that might need the study of spatial variation and dependencies. In particular, it looks at literature dated from 1971 and 2024 and shows the extent to which SARQR had already been applied previously in other disciplines such as economics, real estate, environmental science, and epidemiology.
Accordingly, evidence indicates SARQR has numerous benefits compared to traditional regression models: These estimates are robust to outliers and heterogeneous spatial effects and capture fully conditional distributions with respect to mean regression models. The review supports future work toward enhancing estimation approaches and possible SARQR application extensions to other fields. The spatial modeling has applicability in the research, decision-making, and profession formulation because it encourages a broader SARQR application in economic analysis, infrastructure planning, and public health policy. Future research must aim at refining estimation methods and integrating SARQR with other models of analysis to optimize its usefulness in utilizing sophisticated spatial data.
