The group traces its roots back nearly two decades ago when quantile
regression gained prominence as a powerful tool for analyzing data in
various disciplines. As interest in quantile regression grew, the group
expanded to include a dynamic and interdisciplinary mix of faculty,
researchers, Post-docs and PhD students from different institutions. We
also collaborate with experts from various domains, fostering a
collaborative environment that promotes cross-disciplinary insights.
The group is fully committed to expanding the theoretical foundations
of quantile regression, constantly exploring innovative estimation
techniques and refining existing methodologies. Beyond theoretical
advancements, we are actively engaged in developing practical tools and
software to facilitate the implementation of quantile regression in
real-world scenarios. Over the years, the group has made major
contributions to the development of advanced methods, techniques and
novel applications in diverse fields, such as economics, finance,
epidemiology, and environmental science. This comprehensive approach
underscores the group’s commitment to exploring new avenues where
quantile regression can offer unique insights into complex data
structures.
