+using the methods of Fasiolo et al. (2017).  Differently from @code{quantreg},
+the smoothing parameters are estimated automatically by marginal loss
+minimization, while the regression coefficients are estimated using either
+PIRLS or Newton algorithm.  The learning rate is determined so that the
+Bayesian credible intervals of the estimated effects have approximately the
+correct coverage.  The main function is @code{qgam()} which is similar to
+@code{gam()} in the @code{mgcv} package, but fits non-parametric quantile
+regression models.")
