Often socio-economic variables are measured on a discrete scale or rounded to protect confidentiality. Nevertheless, when exploring the effect of a relevant covariate on the whole outcome distribution of a discrete response variable, virtually all common quantile regression methods require the...

The aim of statistical analysis and inference is to draw meaningful conclusions. In the case where there is prior knowledge of stochastic orderings or inequalities, it is desirable to incorporate this information in the estimation. This avoids possible unrealistic estimates, and may also lead to...
