Abstract: There has been much attention on the high-dimensional linear regression models, which means the number of observations is much less than that of covariates. Considering the fact that the high dimensionality often induces the collinearity problem, in this article, we study the penalized quantile regression with the elastic net (EnetQR) that combines the strengths of the quadratic regularization and the lasso shrinkage. We investigate the weak oracle property of the EnetQR under mild conditions in the high dimensional setting. Moreover, we propose a two-step procedure, called adaptive elastic net quantile regression (AEnetQR), in which the weight vector in the second step is constructed from the EnetQR estimate in the first step. This two-step procedure is justified theoretically to possess the weak oracle property. The finite sample properties are performed through the Monte Carlo simulation and a real-data analysis.
