This is the Debian GNU/Linux r-cran-quantreg package of quantreg. The quantreg package provides quantile regression and related methods. It was written by Roger Koenker. This package was created by Dirk Eddelbuettel . The sources were downloaded from the main CRAN site http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/ and are also available from all CRAN mirrors as e.g. http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/ The package was renamed from its upstream name 'quantreg' to 'r-cran-quantreg' to fit the pattern of CRAN (and non-CRAN) packages for R.
