Estimating Densities, Quantiles, Quantile Densities and Density Quantiles

چکیده
Abs t rac t . To estimate the quantile density function (the derivative of the quantile function) by kernel means, there are two alternative approaches. One is the derivative of the kernel quantile estimator, the other is essentially the reciprocal of the kernel density estimator. We give ways in which the former method has certain advantages over the latter. Various closely related smoothing issues are also discussed.

Single-pass low-storage arbitrary quantile estimation for massive datasets
We present a single-pass, low-storage, sequential method for estimating an arbitrary quantile of an unknown distribution. The proposed method performs very well when compared to existing methods for estimating the median as well as arbitrary quantiles for a wide range of densities. In addition to explaining the method and presenting the results of the simulation study, we discuss intuition behi...
متن کاملThe Effect of Education on Labor Wages in Iranian Urban Households Based on Quantile Regression
The purpose of this article is to examine the impact of education and work experience on earning. For this purpose, Mincer’s wage equation, quantile regression estimation method and the microdata from Iranian survey of household income and expenses in 2016 have been used. Estimation results show that education returns are positive in all income quantiles, and education in lower-income quantiles...
متن کاملDesign-Based Estimation for Geometric Quantiles
In this paper, we are interested in estimating geometric quantiles when data are obtained in a complex survey. Geometric quantiles defined by Chaudhuri (1996) are an extension of univariate quantiles in the multivariate set-up that uses the geometry of multivariate data clouds. A very important application of them is the detection of outliers in multivariate data through quantile contours. This...
متن کاملA Permutation Test for Quantile Regression
A drop in dispersion, F -ratio like, permutation test (D) for linear quantile regression estimates (0 ≤ τ ≤ 1) had relative power ≥1 compared to quantile rank score tests (T ) for hypotheses on parameters other than the intercept. Power was compared for combinations of sample sizes (n = 20 − 300) and quantiles (τ = 0.50 − 0.99) where both tests maintained valid Type I error rates in simulations...
متن کاملVariance - Reduction Techniques for Estimating Quantiles and Value - at - Risk
VARIANCE-REDUCTION TECHNIQUES FOR ESTIMATING QUANTILES AND VALUE-AT-RISK by Fang Chu Quantiles, as a performance measure, arise in many practical contexts. In finance, quantiles are called values-at-risk (VARs), and they are widely used in the financial industry to measure portfolio risk. When the cumulative distribution function is unknown, the quantile can not be computed exactly and must be ...
