Researchers have developed a novel two-stage method for multi-fidelity quantile regression, designed to improve the accuracy of quantile estimation when high-fidelity data is scarce. The approach utilizes a local quantile link, representing high-fidelity quantiles based on low-fidelity quantiles evaluated at a covariate-dependent level. This reformulation aims to simplify the estimation process by focusing on a smoother level function, with a correction step included for enhanced robustness. Theoretical analysis and experimental results on synthetic and real-world data demonstrate that this method can achieve faster convergence and more precise quantile estimates compared to using only high-fidelity data.
