Sample-based quantile function estimation using entropy and self-determined probability weighted moments
The method of conventional probability-weighted moments (PWMs) and the principle of minimum cross entropy were combined to derive an analytical form of quantile function [Pandey, 2001]. This method is extended and improved in the present paper by utilizing the concept of self determined probability weighted moments (SD-PWMs). Minimum cross entropy principle and SD-PWMs from sample data were use...
متن کاملWhich Quantile is the Most Informative ? Maximum Entropy Quantile Regression ∗
This paper studies the connections among quantile regression, the asymmetric Laplace distribution, and the maximum entropy. We show that the maximum likelihood problem is equivalent to the solution of a maximum entropy problem where we impose moment constraints given by the joint consideration of the mean and median. Using the resulting score functions we develop a maximum entropy quantile regr...
متن کاملQuantile-function based null distribution in resampling based multiple testing.
Simultaneously testing a collection of null hypotheses about a data generating distribution based on a sample of independent and identically distributed observations is a fundamental and important statistical problem involving many applications. Methods based on marginal null distributions (i.e., marginal p-values) are attractive since the marginal p-values can be based on a user supplied choic...
متن کاملConditioning your quantile function
Random sampling via a quantile function Q(u) is a popular technique, but two very common sources of numerical instability are often overlooked: (i) quantile functions tend to be ill-conditioned when u → 1 and (ii) feeding them uniformly spaced u can make them ill-conditioned as u → 0. These flaws undermine the tails of Q(u)’s distribution, and both flaws are present in the polar method for norm...
متن کاملMultivariate Quantile Function Models
Multivariate quantiles have been defined by a number of researchers and can be estimated by different methods. However, little work can be found in the literature about Bayesian estimation of joint quantiles of multivariate random variables. In this paper we present a multivariate quantile function model and propose a Bayesian method to estimate the model parameters. The methodology developed h...
