Installing rq -- Quantile Regression (Version 3.0) This version of the library is intended for Splus5.x and was developed on Suns. I would appreciate hearing about problems on other systems. There is still some flux in the 5.x versions of dumpChapter, etc. so some of the advice below may contradict to some degree more official advice available in Chambers Programming with Data, or V&R Splus Programming Complements. Recipe: make a fresh directory rq -- for the brave at heart with su status this could be in $SHOME/library cd rq S CHAPTER untar the library into rq S make cat rq.q|S cp help.sgm/* .Data/__Shelp (For S read whatever you call S on your machine...) If make works, it should produce an S.so file. On our system there have been problems with resolving references to some fortran library functions. See the makefile for LOCAL_LIBS. Comments on any aspects of this software would be much appreciated! url: http://www.econ.uiuc.edu Roger Koenker email roger@ysidro.econ.uiuc.edu Department of Economics vox: 217-333-4558 University of Illinois fax: 217-244-6678 Champaign, IL 61820
