Explorer la distribution des intervalles d'estimations quantiles conditionnels : une application à l'estimation de coûts spécifiques de production du lait de vache dans l'Union européenne
Abstract
This article uses symbolic data analysis tools to visualize
conditional quantile estimation intervals, applying it to the problem of
cost allocation in agriculture. After recalling the conceptual framework
of the estimation of agricultural production costs, the first part
presents the empirical model, the quantile regression approach and
the interval data processing techniques used as symbolic data analysis
tools. The second part presents the comparative analysis of the
econometric results of milk between twelve European Member States,
using the principal components analysis and the hierarchical grouping
of the estimation intervals, by discussing the relevance of the
exploratory graphs obtained for the international comparisons.
