Best Invariant and Minimax Estimation of Quantiles in Finite Populations.
The theoretical literature on quantile and distribution function estimation in infinite populations is very rich, and invariance plays an important role in these studies. This is not the case for the commonly occurring problem of estimation of quantiles in finite populations. The latter is more complicated and interesting because an optimal strategy consists not only of an estimator, but also o...
متن کاملSequential Estimation of Quantiles
Quantiles are convenient measures of the entire range of values of simulation outputs. However, unlike the mean and standard deviation, the observations have to be stored since calculation of quantiles requires several passes through the data. Thus, quantile estimation(QE) requires a large amount of computer storage and computation time. Several approaches for estimating quantiles in RS(regener...
متن کاملBest-First Minimax Search
We describe a very simple selective search algorithm for two-player games, called best-first minimax. It always expands next the node at the end of the expected line of play, which determines the minimax value of the root. It uses the same information as alpha-beta minimax, and takes roughly the same time per node generation. We present an implementation of the algorithm that reduces its space ...
متن کاملEstimation of E(Y) from a Population with Known Quantiles
‎In this paper‎, ‎we consider the problem of estimating E(Y) based on a simple random sample when at least one of the population quantiles is known‎. ‎We propose a stratified estimator of E(Y)‎, ‎and show that it is strongly consistent‎. ‎We then establish the asymptotic normality of the suggested estimator‎, ‎and prove that it ...
متن کاملFinite-sample distribution of regression quantiles
The finite sample distributions of the regression quantile and of the extreme regression quantile are derived for a broad class of distributions of the model errors, even for the non-i.i.d case. The distributions are analogous to the corresponding distributions in the location model; this again confirms that the regression quantile is a straightforward extension of the sample quantile. As an ap...
