Non-Crossing Additive Regression Quantiles and Non-Parametric Growth Charts

Fits non-crossing regression quantiles as a function of linear covariates and multiple smooth terms, including varying coefficients, via B-splines with L1-norm difference penalties. Random intercepts and variable selection are allowed via the lasso penalties. The smoothing parameters are estimated as part of the model fitting, see Muggeo and others (2021) <doi:10.1177/1471082X20929802>. Monotonicity and concavity constraints on the fitted curves are allowed, see Muggeo and others (2013) <doi:10.1007/s10651-012-0232-1>, and also <doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.12924.85122> or <doi:10.13140/RG.2.2.29306.21445> some code examples.
