We propose a mode regression estimator for the case in which the variate of interest is continuous and obsesrvable over its entire unbounded support. We show that the proposed mode regression estimator is consistent under mild conditions and has a tractable asymptotic distribution. An empirical illustration
is provided to highlight the practicality and usefulness of the estimator.
