Abstract

Quantile regression is used for finding the effects of covariates on different quantiles of the response variable. The contribution of this article is to develop a theory of quantile regression using the Quantile-based asymmetric (QBA) family (similar to GAMLSS for mean regression) and then apply the proposed approach for analyzing COVID-19 data. More precisely, we estimate regression quantiles and investigate the asymptotic estimators under a generalized linear modeling framework, but the main focus is the quantile estimate rather than the mean estimate. A COVID-19 dataset is used to illustrate the proposed methodology
