QR.break: Structural Breaks in Quantile Regression

Methods for detecting structural breaks, determining the number of breaks, and estimating break locations in linear quantile regression, using one or multiple quantiles, based on Qu (2008) and Oka and Qu (2011). Applicable to both time series and repeated cross-sectional data. The main function is rq.break().
