This is just horrible quality material. What in the heck is this?

> It is to be kept in mind that the coefficients which we get in quantile regression for a particular quantile should differ significantly from those we obtain from linear regression. If it is not so then our usage of quantile regression isn't justifiable. This can be done by observing the confidence intervals of regression coefficients of the estimates obtained from both the regressions.

I'm a typical "math is hard; let's go programming" type of person, but the only problem i have with that quoted section is the missing antecedent of "This can be done...". But I worked it out from context.

I thought the article was very good.
