Abstract: A nonparametric method is proposed for estimating the quantile spectra and cross-spectra introduced in Li (2012; 2014) as bivariate functions of frequency and quantile level. The method is based on the quantile discrete Fourier transform (QDFT) defined by trigonometric quantile regression and the quantile series (QSER) defined by the inverse Fourier transform of the QDFT. A nonparametric spectral estimator is constructed from the autocovariance and cross-covariance functions of the QSER using the lag-window (LW) approach. Various quantile smoothing techniques are employed further to reduce the statistical variability of the estimator across quantiles, among which is a new technique called spline quantile regression (SQR). The performance of the proposed estimation method is evaluated through a simulation study.
