Betreff: Re: st: qcount convergence

Dear Barbara,

I did not added a convergence check after the quantile regression...thanks
for the point. It should be easy to add this feature and then tell qcount to
discard the current draw if it the quantile regression does not converge.

I'll fix this problem soon...it may take some time though as at the moment I
have to meet some tight deadlines.

Best wishes,

Alfonso.
