Quantile regression is a powerful tool for detecting exposure-outcome associations given covariates across different parts of the outcome's distribution, but has two major limitations when the aim is to infer the effect of an exposure.…

Recent results in compressed sensing showed that the optimal subsampling strategy should take into account the sparsity pattern of the signal at hand. This oracle-like knowledge, even though desirable, nevertheless remains elusive in most…
