The goodness of fit measure for quantile regression is estimated as 1 minus the ratio between the sum of absolute deviations in the fully parameterized models and the sum of absolute deviations in the null (non-conditional) quantile model.

Quantiles The first to have 1/n of the area of the distribution to the left of it. The second to have 2/n of the area of the distribution to the left of it. The rth to have r/n of the area of the distribution to the left of it. The last to have (n - 1)/n of the area of the distribution to the left of it.

Quantile regression is an extension of linear regression that is used when the conditions of linear regression are not met (i.e., linearity, homoscedasticity, independence, or normality).

The quantile regression coefficient tells us that for every one unit change in socst that the predicted value of write will increase by . 6333333. We can show this by listing the predictor with the associated predicted values for two adjacent values.

Quantile regression minimizes quantile loss Just as regressions minimize the squared-error loss function to predict a single point estimate, quantile regressions minimize the quantile loss in predicting a certain quantile.

The main advantage of quantile regression methodology is that the method allows for understanding relationships between variables outside of the mean of the data,making it useful in understanding outcomes that are non-normally distributed and that have nonlinear relationships with predictor variables.

Quantile regression can provide more insight into the experiment than ANOVA, with the additional benefit of being applicable to data from any distribution. This property makes it especially useful in our field, since non-normally distributed data is common in computer experiments.
