R help - Oct 2011 - How to keep a coefficient fixed when using rq {quantreg}?

Hello all,

I would like to compute a quantile regression using rq (from the
quantreg package), while keeping one of the coefficients fixed.
Is it possible to set an offset for rq in quantreg?  (I wasn't able to
make it to work)

Thanks,
Tal

Ah yes offsets, I've meant to look into this, but never quite understood
why something like:

	rq((y - xk - bk) ~ x1 + x2)

wasn't just as convenient....
