R help - Jun 2009 - quantile fixed effects with weights

Dear all,

I 'm implementing the koenker procedure for quantile fixed effects. I
would like also to apply weights to the procedure, so that to give
more weight to the observation that better represent my original
sample (much larger than it is possible to use in R). Do you know if
it is possible? How could I solve this problem?
Thank you
alessia

This contradicts the principle of the much beloved fortune("This is
R")

This contradicts the previous assertion.

For positive weights, you can multiply y and X by them, but don't
neglect the intercept, it deserves weight two [sic].  For negative  
weights
you are asking for trouble.
