mqqcause: Multivariate Quantile-on-Quantile Granger Causality

Implements bivariate and Multivariate Quantile-on-Quantile Granger causality tests building on the Quantile-on-Quantile regression framework of Sim and Zhou (2015) <doi:10.1016/j.jbankfin.2015.01.013> and the quantile Granger causality test of Troster (2018) <doi:10.1080/07474938.2016.1172400>. The bivariate test estimates the local-linear slope in the quantile regression of y_t on lagged x_t with lagged y_t as control, using Gaussian kernel weights, and tests it against zero by paired bootstrap. The multivariate (conditional) test additionally conditions on a set of moderators Z and optional x times Z interaction terms, in the spirit of Sinha, Ghosh, Hussain, Nguyen and Das (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.eneco.2023.107021>. A Sup-Wald summary across the quantile grid is also provided. Heatmaps and 3D surfaces default to the 'MATLAB' 'Parula' colour map.
