Flexible Bayesian Quantile Regression in Ordinal Models
  The paper introduces an estimation method for flexible Bayesian quantile regression in ordinal (FBQROR) models i.e., an ordinal quantile regression where the error follows a generalized asymmetric Laplace (GAL) distribution. The GAL distribution, unlike the asymmetric Laplace (AL) distribution, allows to fix specific quantiles while simultaneously letting the mode, skewness and tails to vary. We also introduce the cumulative distribution function (necessary for constructing the likelihood) and the moment generating function of the GAL distribution. The algorithm is illustrated in multiple simulation studies and implemented to analyze public opinion on homeownership as the best long-term investment in the United States.
