Quantile Regression
A statistical method introduced by Koenker and Bassett in 1978 that estimates conditional quantiles of a dependent variable by minimizing the pinball loss function. It is used to construct prediction intervals and characterize the full conditional distribution of a response variable.

Quantile regression was first proposed by Koenker and Bassett, and its loss function is called the pinball loss.
分位数回归通过直接对目标变量的条件分位数建模（如同时训练 5%、50%、95% 分位点）来得到预测中位数和区间，不需要假设误差服从高斯分布，对长尾或非对称分布更稳健。
分位数回归、集成学习和贝叶斯方法三种不确定性估计路径各有取舍：分位数回归计算最省，集成学习实现简单但训练成本高，贝叶斯方法理论最优雅但收敛慢。
Quantile regression was proposed by Koenker and Bassett in 1978.
In deep learning, multiple quantile heads (e.g., τ=0.05 and τ=0.95) are typically trained simultaneously to construct a 90% prediction interval.
The training objective of quantile regression is the Pinball Loss; for target quantile τ, predictions above the true value are penalized with weight (1-τ), and predictions below are penalized with weight τ.
Pure quantile regression does not provide finite-sample coverage guarantees, and a conformal calibration step must be combined to obtain rigorous statistical meaning.
