[R] Quantile scores as dependent variables.. an R and general method question

[Doran, Harold]

Rob

The OP is looking for a way to deal with outcomes scores that are quantiles, not a method that models different quantiles of the conditional distribution where an outcome is a continuous variable. So, I don't think QR methods is what is needed.

Really? because google found 227k hits for "R quantile regression" -
none of them lead anywhere ?
