Quantile regression as an alternative to modeling the conditional mean function provides a comprehensive picture of the relationship between a response and covariates. It is particularly attractive in applications focused on the upper or lower conditional quantiles of the response. However, conventional quantile regression estimators are often unstable at the extreme tails, owing to data sparsity, especially for heavy-tailed distributions. Assuming that the functional predictor has a linear effect on the upper quantiles of the response, we develop a novel estimator for extreme conditional quantiles using a functional composite quantile regression based on a functional principal component analysis and an extrapolation technique from extreme value theory. We establish the asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator under some regularity conditions, and compare it with other estimation methods using Monte Carlo simulations. Finally, we demonstrate the proposed method by empirically analyzing two real data sets.
