summary.rq {quantreg}R Documentation

Summary method for Quantile Regression

Description

Returns a summary list for a quantile regression fit. A null value will be returned if printing is invoked.

Usage

summary.rq(object, se="nid", covariance=T, hs = T)

Value

a list is returned with the following components

coefficients a p by 4 matrix consisting of the coefficients, their estimated standard errors, their t-statistics, and their associated p-values.
cov the estimated covariance matrix for the coefficients in the model, provided that cov=T in the called sequence.
Hinv inverse of the estimated Hessian matrix returned if cov=T and se != "iid".
J Outer product of gradient matrix returned if cov=T and se != "iid". The Huber sandwich is cov = Hinv %*% J %*% Hinv.

Examples

data(stackloss)
y <- stack.loss
x <- stack.x
summary(rq(y ~ x, method="fn")) # Compute se's for fit using "nid" method.
summary(rq(y ~ x, ci=F),se="ker")
# default "br" alg, and compute kernel method se's
