This is quick list of some possible fixes for the next revision of quantreg Version: June 25, 2001 1. Adapt khmaladze stuff to handle "br" output. 2. refine the choice of eps parameter in rq.fit.fn (this has been a perennial problem. As several examples show, it is sometimes possible to get into trouble with the current 1e-6 tolerance with rq.fit.fn returning NaN's while a more relaxed tolerance say 1e-4 produces a good answer, verifiable from "br". 3. The trim object in rq.test.khmal could be improved. 4. Now location-scale and location tests need to be done independently and could be organized to do both together.
