We propose a nonparametric method for estimating the conditional quantile function that admits a generalized additive specification with an unknown link function. This model nests single-index, additive, and multiplicative quantile regression models. Based on a full local linear polynomial expansion, we first obtain the asymptotic representation for the proposed quantile estimator for each additive component. Then, the link function is estimated by noting that it corresponds to the conditional quantile function of a response variable given the sum of all additive components. The observations are supposed to be a sample from a strictly stationary and absolutely regular process. We provide results on (uniform) consistency rates, second order asymptotic expansions and point wise asymptotic normality of each proposed estimator.
