the period 1965-75, remainder on 1987-85.</p>

Estimation and inference methods for models of conditional quantiles:
Linear and nonlinear parametric and non-parametric (total variation penalized) models
for conditional quantiles of a univariate response and several methods for handling
censored survival data.  Portfolio selection methods based on expected shortfall
risk are also included.
