In various sources you can find, that interpretation of the quantile regression is pretty much like in the linear regression, with the difference now it's about the medians, rather than means. Like here: How can I interpret the categorical variables in quantile regression?
or here: About interpretation of the results of quantile regression
But then I found this article: "Quantile Regression in the Study of Developmental Sciences" https://srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/cdev.12190 where it's said, that:
For example, if we have an equation for a linear regression as,
Yi = 2.5 + 1.2(X)
it is expected that Y will increase by 1.2 units for each unit increase in X. An alternative way to construct the interpretation is in terms of how much gap exists in Y when considering different values of X. To illustrate, it could also be stated that the X coefficient of 1.2 reflects the gap in estimated performance at the mean of Y for a student who is average on X compared to an individual who is 1 SD above the mean on X. Although this is a bit more complex than the traditional interpretation of a slope, it serves as a foundation to understand how the slope relates to the outcome in quantile regression. Now suppose we have two equations from a quantile regression that estimated the association between X and Y at the .25 and .75 quantiles:.25 quantile: Yi = 0.43 + 2.5(X) .75 quantile: Yi = 1.57 + 0.82(X)
The interpretation of the slope coefficient for the .25 quantile (i.e., 2.5) is best stated as the gap in performance on Y at the .25 quantile for individuals who were average on X compared to individuals who were 1 SD above the mean on X was 2.5 units. Similarly, the interpretation of the slope at the .75 quantile (0.82) is stated as: the gap in performance on Y at the .75 quantile for individuals who were average on X compared to those who were 1 SD above the mean on X was 0.82 units. This aspect of slope interpretation in quantile regression is necessary as it assists in avoiding confusion about the relations between the model coefficients in the analysis. It is tempting to use the traditional linear regression interpretation of a slope; however, this would potentially mislead an individual to think that at the .25 quantile, increasing the X by 1 unit leads to a predicted score of Y, which increases by 2.5 units. By increasing a score in Y by 2.5 units, an individual would no longer be at the .25 quantile, but would be at a higher quantile. Consequently, it is more appropriate to think and describe slope coefficients as reflective of gap performances in Y based on differences in performance on X.
This is out of my mind yet... Please, can anybody tell me, if this interpretation matches somehow those given by Peter Flom?
