Re: [Gretl-users] gretl api quantreg

Hi, OK, I took a look into the code and I conclude that parm is the tau specification. Found in interact.c: /* quantreg requires a tau specification */ The tau is the desired quantile (or a list, like you can select when using the GUI). About API documentation update, I believe that Allin only writes minimal documentation in early development of gretl.
