Fit a Quantile Regression of dependent_ticker on independent_tickers at quantile tau.

Also known as: QR.

For more information about the method, see regression_model.get_quantile_regression.

No programming experience? With the Finance Toolkit MCP server, AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT can calculate the Quantile Regression for you. Just ask in plain English.

Calculate the Quantile Regression in Python

The Quantile Regression is available in the Econometrics module of the open-source Finance Toolkit. Install it with:

pip install financetoolkit -U

Then call get_quantile_regression as shown below.

from financetoolkit import Toolkit

toolkit = Toolkit(["AAPL", "MSFT"], api_key="FINANCIAL_MODELING_PREP_KEY")

# AAPL (the first ticker) is dependent; MSFT and Benchmark are independent
toolkit.econometrics.get_quantile_regression(
    independent_tickers=["MSFT", "Benchmark"], tau=0.5, period="weekly"
)

Which returns:

  Coefficient Std. Error
Intercept 0.0007 0.0021
MSFT 0.3593 0.0854
Benchmark 0.6885 0.1037

Parameters

get_quantile_regression accepts the following parameters:

  • dependent_ticker (str | None, optional): The dependent (predicted) asset. Defaults to None, meaning the Toolkit instance’s first ticker.
  • independent_tickers (str | list[str] | None, optional): The independent (predictor) asset(s). Defaults to None, meaning every other ticker in the Toolkit instance besides dependent_ticker.
  • include_benchmark (bool, optional): Whether to include “Benchmark” in the default independent ticker(s) (has no effect when independent_tickers is given explicitly). Defaults to False.
  • tau (float, optional): The quantile to fit, in (0, 1). Defaults to 0.5 (the median).
  • period (str, optional): The data frequency (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly). Defaults to “daily”.
  • column (str, optional): The historical data column to regress on. Defaults to “Return”.
  • add_constant (bool, optional): Whether to include an intercept. Defaults to True.
  • n_bootstrap (int, optional): The number of bootstrap resamples used for coefficient standard errors, overriding statsmodels’ default analytic (kernel density-based) standard errors. Defaults to 0 (use the analytic standard errors).
  • rounding (int | None, optional): The number of decimals to round the results to. Defaults to None.
