Various indicators and measures of the real life procedures rise up as functionals of the quantile process of a parent random variable Z. However, Z can be observed only through a response in a linear model whose covariates are not under our control and the probability distribution of error terms is generally unknown. The problem is that of nonparametric estimation or other inference for such functionals. We propose an estimation procedure based on the averaged two-step regression quantile, recently developed by the authors, combined with an R-estimator of slopes of the linear model.
