Qest: Quantile-Based Estimator

Quantile-based estimators (Q-estimators) can be used to fit any parametric distribution, using its quantile function. Q-estimators are usually more robust than standard maximum likelihood estimators. The method is described in: Sottile G. and Frumento P. (2022). Robust estimation and regression with parametric quantile functions. <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2022.107471>.
