Asymptotic Joint Distribution of Sample Mean and a Sample Quantile
نویسنده
چکیده
1. Introduction. The joint asymptotic distribution of the sample mean and the sample median was found by Laplace almost 200 years ago. See Stigler [2] for an interesting historical discussion of this achievement. For a review of other work on this problem, see derive the asymptotic joint distribution of the sample mean and an arbitrary quantile. It is hoped that the proof may be new and of interest.

Joint Asymptotic Distribution of Marginal Quantiles and Quantile Functions in Samples from a Multivariate Population*
The joint asymptotic distributions of the marginal quantiles and quantile functions in samples from a p-variate population are derived. Of particular interest is the joint asymptotic distribution of the marginal sample medians, on the basis of which tests of significance for population medians are developed. Methods of estimating unknown nuisance parameters are discussed. The approach is comple...
متن کاملSimulation Estimation of Quantiles from a Distribution with Known Mean
It is common in practice to estimate the quantiles of a complicated distribution by using the order statistics of a simulated sample. If the distribution of interest has known population mean, then it is often possible to improve the mean square error of the standard quantile estimator substantially through the simple device of meancorrection: subtract off the sample mean and add on the known p...
متن کاملOuter and Inner Confidence Intervals Based on Extreme Order Statistics in a Proportional Hazard Model
Let Mi and Mi be the maximum and minimum of the ith sample from k independent sample with different sample sizes, respectively. Suppose that the survival distribution function of the ith sample is F ̄i = F ̄αi, where αi is known and positive constant. It is shown that how various exact non-parametric inferential proce- ′ dures can be developed on the basis of Mi’s and Mi ’s for distribution ...
متن کاملInference and Density Estimation with Interval Statistics
Individual data from a continuous distribution are often partitioned into a collection of intervals defined by either fixed interval limits or sample quantiles. In this study, we derive asymptotic distribution of interval statistics for both cases, allowing multiple sample statistics for each interval. Under fixed intervals, the covariance matrix is singular. We identify a computationally simpl...
متن کاملThe Convergence Rate and Asymptotic Distribution of the Bootstrap Quantile Variance Estimator for Importance Sampling
Importance sampling is a widely used variance reduction technique to compute sample quantiles such as value at risk. The variance of the weighted sample quantile estimator is usually a difficult quantity to compute. In this paper we present the exact convergence rate and asymptotic distributions of the bootstrap variance estimators for quantiles ofweighted empirical distributions. Under regular...
