Joint Asymptotic Distribution of Marginal Quantiles and Quantile Functions in Samples from a Multivariate Population*
نویسنده
چکیده
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 completely nonparametric.

Multivariate 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...
متن کاملMultivariate Quantiles and Multiple-output Regression Quantiles: from L1 Optimization to Halfspace Depth
A new multivariate concept of quantile, based on a directional version of Koenker and Bassett’s traditional regression quantiles, is introduced for multivariate location and multiple-output regression problems. In their empirical version, those quantiles can be computed efficiently via linear programming techniques. Consistency, Bahadur representation and asymptotic normality results are establ...
متن کاملEstimation of copula-based semiparametric time series models
This paper studies the estimation of a class of copula-based semiparametric stationary Markov models. These models are characterized by nonparametric marginal distributions and parametric copula functions, while the copulas capture all the scale-free temporal dependence of the processes. Simple estimators of the marginal distribution and the copula parameter are provided, and their asymptotic p...
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 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...
