Note. Boldface in the table is used to facilitate comparison of results. SES = socioeconomic status; LB = lower bound; UB = upper bound; QR-10 = quantile regression at the .10 quantile; QR-25 = quantile regression at the .25 quantile; QR-50 = quantile regression at the .50 quantile; QR-75 = quantile regression at the .75 quantile; QR-95 = quantile regression at the .95 quantile.
