  <dc:title>Extensible Finite Mixtures of Quantile and Expectile Regressions</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package mixqr version 0.2.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>An extensible expectation-maximization (EM) framework for finite
    mixtures of quantile regressions (clusterwise / mixture-of-experts quantile
    regression). A single EM substrate with an engine/extension contract carries
    a family of capabilities: the core free-weight mixture of Wu and Yao (2016)
    &lt;doi:10.1016/j.csda.2014.04.014&gt; -- a fast asymmetric-Laplace path and the
    nonparametric kernel-density EM with components constrained to have their
    tau-quantile equal to zero (Hall and Presnell 1999 device); expectile and
    M-quantile component-loss families (Newey and Powell 1987; Breckling and
    Chambers 1988); component-specific penalized variable selection (SCAD /
    adaptive-LASSO, the quantile analogue of Khalili and Chen 2007); and joint
    multi-quantile estimation with a shared latent classification and
    non-crossing component curves. Provides classification-aware standard errors
    (sparsity and stochastic-EM multiple imputation), multi-start estimation,
    component-count selection, and prediction. The companion package 'mixqrgate'
    adds location-varying gating.</dc:description>
