Logistic Quantile Regression
Logistic quantile regression can analyze variables that take on values within a specified range, like visual analog scales, psychological scales, and percentages. With bounded variables, traditional statistical methods, such as least-squares regression, mixed-effects models, and even classic nonparametric methods such as the Wilcoxon's test, may be inadequate.
