qfa: Quantile-Frequency Analysis (QFA) of Time Series and Spline Quantile Regression (SQR)

Implementation of quantile frequency analysis (QFA) for time series based on trigonometric quantile regression and of spline quantile regression (SQR) for estimating the coefficients in linear quantile regression models as smooth functions of the quantile level.
