We introduce the unit power Maxwell distribution (UPMD) defined on (0,1) and develop a quantile regression framework that captures covariate effects across the outcomes. The UPMD is generated based on the log power transformation of the Maxwell\u2013Boltzmann distribution, producing a tractable quantile and flexible shapes with skewness and heavy tails. This work examines several key distributional properties, including the quantile function, order statistics, residual life, and R\u00e9nyi entropy. It also investigates inference via maximum likelihood, maximum product spacing, least squares, and Bayesian estimation. Extensive simulation analysis is performed to evaluate the efficiency of various estimation methods using bias, mean squared error, and interval probability coverage (CPs). For empirical evaluation, we analyze COVID\u201019 mortality proportions, where UPMD\u2010based quantile regression delivers improved fit in upper and lower tails and better calibration relative to alternatives, as assessed by information criteria, formal goodness of fit tests, and residual diagnostics such as randomized quantile residuals and Cox\u2013Snell checks. The results indicate that the UPMD provides a practical, interpretable tool for bounded biomedical\u00a0outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/bimj.70161","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,3]],"date-time":"2026-09-03T09:46:08Z","timestamp":1788428768000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Quantile Regression for Bounded Biomedical Outcomes via the Unit Power Maxwell\u2013Boltzmann Distribution: A COVID\u201019 Mortality Case Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"68","author":[{"given":"Hanan Haj","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics and Statistics, College of Science King Faisal University  Hofuf Al\u2010Ahsa Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0712-9416","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dina A.","family":"Ramadan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science Mansoura University Mansoura Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1142\/S1793524522500310"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3934\/math.20241644"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0266466605050255"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/23737484.2021.1882355"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1137\/1.9781611971194","volume-title":"Mathematical Theory of Reliability","author":"Barlow R.
