Usage

logLik(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'rqss'
AIC(object, ..., k=2)
## S3 method for class 'rqss'
print(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'rqss'
resid(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'rqss'
fitted(object, ...)
Arguments
object
an object returned from rqss fitting, describing
an additive model estimating a conditional quantile function.
See qss for details on how to specify these terms.
x
an rqss object, as above.
k
a constant factor governing the weight attached to the penalty
term on effective degrees of freedom of the fit. By default
k =2 corresponding to the Akaike version of the penalty, negative
values indicate that the k should be set to log(n) as proposed
by Schwarz (1978).

Details
Total variation regularization for univariate and
bivariate nonparametric quantile smoothing is described
in Koenker, Ng and Portnoy (1994) and Koenker and Mizera(2003)
respectively. The additive model extension of this approach
depends crucially on the sparse linear algebra implementation
for R described in Koenker and Ng (2003). Eventually, these
functions should be expanded to provide an automated lambda
selection procedure.
Value
The function summary.rqss returns a list consisting of
the following components:
fidelity
Value of the quantile regression objective function.
penalty
A list consisting of the values of the total variation
smoothing penalty for each of additive components.
edf
Effective degrees of freedom of the fitted model, defined
as the number of zero residuals of the fitted model, Koenker
Mizera (2003) for details.
qssedfs
A list of effective degrees of freedom for each of
the additive components of the fitted model, defined as the
number of non-zero elements of each penalty component of the
residual vector.
lamdas
A list of the lambdas specified for each of the additive
components of the model.
