*Title:*
Some recent advances in quantile regression under the Bayesian approach

*Abstract:*
Quantile regression models provide richer information on the effects of the
predictors than does the traditional mean regression and it is less
sensitive to heteroscedasticity and outliers, accommodating non-normal
errors often encountered in practical applications. Bayesian inference for
quantile regression may proceed by forming the likelihood function based on
the asymmetric Laplace distribution or a generalization, and a
location-scale mixture representation of it allows finding analytical
expressions for the conditional posterior densities of the model. The main
aim of this talk is to present quantile regression and some recent
extensions.
