Research interests

Quantile regression became an important tool in statistics that allows to obtain a better picture of the relationship between an observed variable and regressors. Quantile additive models (QAMs) are non-linear multivariate extensions of linear quantile regression. One of Bertrand's current goals is to develop efficient methods to estimate QAMs together with a publicly available software (R package).
