  <dc:title>'Constrained Quantile Regression with B-Splines'</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package BsplineQuantReg version 0.2.6</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Quantile regression with B-splines under shape constraints.
    The initial version with cubic splines, augmented with splines of
    degree 1 to 4, is now able to handle all degrees (degree &gt;= 6
    without any constraint).   
    Constraints for degrees 3 (monotone), 4 (monotone and convex) and 5
    (convex) use the Karlin-Studden SOCP characterization for the sign 
    of the polynomial (Karlin and Studden, 1966; Papp and Alizadeh, 2014),
    while other constraints are added as linear problems. The method for 
    monotone constraints of cubic splines is described in Abbes (2025)
    &lt;doi:10.5281/zenodo.17427913&gt;. For quartic splines, see other
    references given in the README. All B-spline and polynomial functions
    have been rewritten for consistency. This package provides a fully
    independent original B-spline library for conversion between PP-form
    and B-spline representation, evaluation, differentiation, callable
    and non-callable objects, human-readable PP forms, and basis
    visualization, all based on De Boor's theory. It also extends to
    multiple knots to capture singularities. This feature is robust in
    the package, including for constrained regression. This R
    implementation is intended for demonstration and prototyping. An
    equivalent Python package is available at
    &lt;https://pypi.org/project/BsplineQuantRegpy/&gt;.</dc:description>
