		Quantile Regression for Logarithmic Relationships with Non-
		Positive Outcome Values // Provides the lzrq() function for
		estimating logarithmic regression slopes in quantile regression
		models, permitting the outcome variable to take on non-positive
		values. lzrq() conducts regression after replacing non-positive
		values with a sufficiently negative value. If the fitted values
		of a quantile regression on this transformed outcome are all
		greater than the negative value, then results are displayed.
		The resulting coefficients can be meaningfully interpreted as
		logarithmic intensive-margin relationships between the outcome
		variable and the independent variables, even with non-positive
		values in the outcome variable. If the condition does not hold
		for the specified quantile, then the command iteratively makes
		the value larger and checks again. After ten iterations where
		the condition does not hold, the functions return an error and
		suppress results. This is an automated adaptation of the
		algorithm described by Liu  Kaplan (2025) https://drive.google.
		com/file/d/1F3dnhm8MrlO5aRrGt48rBWAEaBqdCBH-/view and
		implemented in the companion 'Stata' command 'lzqreg',
		described in Fitzgerald et al. (2026)
