Quantile regression has received increased attention in the statistics community in recent years. This article adapts an auxiliary variable method, commonly used in Bayesian variable selection for mean regression models, to the fitting of quantile regression curves. We focus on the fitting of regression splines, with unknown number and location of knots. We provide an efficient algorithm with Metropolis-Hastings updates whose tuning is fully automated. The method is tested on simulated and real examples and its extension to additive models is described. Finally we propose a simple postprocessing procedure to deal with the problem of the crossing of multiple separately estimated quantile curves.
