[R] Pseudo R squared for quantile regression with replicates

here is a reproducible example, mostly from ?withReplicates.  i think
something would have to be done using return.replicates=TRUE to manually
compute survey-adjusted residuals, but i'm not really sure what nor whether
the pseudo r^2 would be meaningful  :/


library(survey)
library(quantreg)

data(api)

## one-stage cluster sample
dclus1<-svydesign(id=~dnum, weights=~pw, data=apiclus1, fpc=~fpc)

## convert to bootstrap
bclus1<-as.svrepdesign(dclus1,type="bootstrap", replicates=100)

## median regression
fit <- withReplicates(bclus1, quote(coef(rq(api00~api99, tau=0.5,
weights=.weights,method="fn"))))

# # # no longer from ?withReplicates # # #
# from https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2006-August/110386.html
rho <- function(u,tau=.5)u*(tau - (u < 0))

V <- sum(rho(fit$resid, fit$tau)) # # breaks
