Quantile GAM?

I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on how to implement a GAM
in a quantile fashion? I'm trying to derive a model of a "hull" of
points which are likely to require higher-order polynomial fitting (e.g.
splines)-- would quantreg be sufficient, if the response and predictors
are all continuous? Thanks!
If you're just after the AM bit of GAM, then yes, I think quantreg contains functions to do as you wish. See ?rqss and ?qss for models that allow smoothing splines in quantile regression. Alternatively, I think package VGAM may also contain something of use. HTH G
