We consider several variants of a likelihood-ratio process for quantile regression designed to test composite hypotheses about the combined influence of several covariates over an entire range of conditional quantile functions. A closely related process is proposed as a goodness-of-fit criterion...

We introduce a goodness of fit process for quantile regression analogous to the conventional R2 statistic of least squares regression. Several related inference processes designed to test composite hypothese about the combined effect of several covariates over an entire range of conditional...
