Description: Quantile-based estimators (Q-estimators) can be used to
        fit any parametric distribution, using its quantile function.
        Q-estimators are usually more robust than standard maximum
        likelihood estimators. The method is described in: Sottile G.
        and Frumento P. (2022). Robust estimation and regression with
        parametric quantile functions.
