Quantile Regression Caught the House Price OLS Missed by $55K

A quantile regression approach on 88 house sales produced a 90% prediction interval spanning $136K to $227K for a home that ordinary least squares (OLS) priced at $164K, while the actual sale price was $219K, according to a Towards Data Science post. The OLS estimate missed the sale price by $55K, whereas the interval built from 5th and 95th percentile models contained it. The comparison illustrates how percentile-based models can quantify uncertainty that a single point estimate from OLS hides.
