Handbook of Quantile Regression

Quantile regression is a powerful and flexible technique that is widely used by econometricians and other applied statisticians. In modern terms we tend to date it back to the classic paper by Koenker and Bassett (1978).

Recently, I reviewed the Handbook of Quantile Regression. This edited volume comprises a number of important, original, contributions to the quantile regression literature. The various chapters cover a wide range of topics that extend the basic quantile regression set-up.

You can read my review of this book (Giles, 2018), here. I hope that it motivates you to explore this topic further.
