nlrq.control

Set algorithmic parameters for nlrq (nonlinear quantile regression function)

 environment 

Estimation and inference methods for models for conditional quantile functions:
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 now included. See Koenker, R. (2005) Quantile Regression, Cambridge U. Press,
<doi:10.1017/CBO9780511754098> and Koenker, R. et al. (2017) Handbook of Quantile Regression,
