[R-sig-eco] mixed quantile regression

[Andrea Bertolo]

Dear all,

I am looking for any (introductory) paper, and ideally a R package, dealing
with quantile regression within a linear mixed modelling framework. I know
the "quantreg" package, but it can't deal with random effects.

I need to apply quantile regression within blocks (a random factor nested
within a fixed one) and I have no idea how to deal with this problem.

Any help is welcome !
Thanks
Andrea
