Or: How do I have to interpret the results?

Hi, thanks, it works :-) But where is the difference between demand ~ Time + I(Time^2) and demand ~ poly(Time, 2) ? Or: How do I have to interpret the results? (I get different results for the two methods) Thank you again! Gabor Grothendieck wrote: > > Those are linear in the coefficients so

Those are linear in the coefficients so try these: library(quantreg) rq1 <- rq(demand ~ Time + I(Time^2), data = BOD, tau= 1:3/4); rq1 # or rq2 <- rq(demand ~ poly(Time, 2), data = BOD, tau = 1:3/4); rq2 On Tue, Jun 9, 2009 at 10:55 AM, despaired wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm relatively new to R and

[R] Non-linear regression/Quantile regression

2009-06-09 Thread despaired
Hi, I'm relatively new to R and need to do a quantile regression. Linear quantile regression works, but for my data I need some quadratic function. So I guess, I have to use a nonlinear quantile regression. I tried the example on the help page for nlrq with my data and it worked. But the example
