I am using the quantreg package to build a quantile regression model and wish to generate confidence intervals for the fitted values.
After fitting the model, I have tried running predict() and predict.rq(), but in each case I obtain a vector of the fitted values only. For example: library(quantreg) y<-rnorm(50,10,2) x<-seq(1,50,1) model<-rq(y~x,tau=0.5,method="br",model=TRUE) model$fitted predict(model,type=c("percentile"),interval=c("confidence"),level=0.95) #returns same output as model$fitted Am I missing something obvious? I have tried altering the settings for the type and interval arguments but without success. (I am running R v 2.10.1). Thank you for your help.
