Abstract: Regression models based on the log-symmetric family of distributions are particularly useful when the response is strictly positive and asymmetric. In this paper, we propose a class of quantile regression models based on reparameterized log-symmetric distributions, which have a quantile parameter. Two Monte Carlo simulation studies are carried out using the R software. The first one analyzes the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators, the information criteria AIC, BIC and AICc, and the generalized Cox-Snell and random quantile residuals. The second one evaluates the performance of the size and power of the Wald, likelihood ratio, score and gradient tests. A real box office data set is finally analyzed to illustrate the proposed approach.
