Gibbs posterior inference on multivariate quantiles

چکیده
Bayesian and other likelihood-based methods require specification of a statistical model may not be fully satisfactory for inference on quantities, such as quantiles, that are naturally defined parameters. In this paper, we construct direct model-free Gibbs posterior distribution multivariate quantiles. Being means inferences drawn from the subject to misspecification bias, being no priors or marginalization over nuisance parameters required. We show here enjoys root-n convergence rate Bernstein–von Mises property, i.e., large n, can approximated by Gaussian. Moreover, present numerical results showing validity efficiency credible sets derived suitably scaled posterior.

Approximate Bayesian Inference for Quantiles
Suppose data consist of a random sample from a distribution function FY , which is unknown, and that interest focuses on inferences on θ, a vector of quantiles of FY . When the likelihood function is not fully specified, a posterior density cannot be calculated and Bayesian inference is difficult. This article considers an approach which relies on a substitution likelihood characterized by a ve...
متن کاملNonparametric Multivariate Descriptive Measures Based on Spatial Quantiles
An appealing way of working with probability distributions, especially in nonparametric inference, is through “descriptive measures” that characterize features of particular interest. One attractive approach is to base the measures on quantiles. Here we consider the multivariate context and utilize the “spatial quantiles”, a recent vector extension of univariate quantiles that is becoming incre...
متن کاملMultivariate quantiles in hydrological frequency analysis
2 Several hydrological phenomena are described by two or more correlated characteristics. 3 These dependent characteristics should be considered jointly to be more representative of the 4 multivariate nature of the phenomenon. Consequently, probabilities of occurrence cannot be 5 estimated on the basis of univariate frequency analysis (FA). The quantile, representing the value 6 of the variable...
متن کاملQuantile tomography: using quantiles with multivariate data
Directional quantile envelopes—essentially, depth contours—are a possible way to condense thedirectional quantile information, the information carried by the quantiles of projections. In typi-cal circumstances, they allow for relatively faithful and straightforward retrieval of the directionalquantiles, offering a straightforward probabilistic interpretation in terms of the tang...
متن کاملEmpirical Likelihood Inference on Regression Quantiles of Residual Lifetimes
We propose and investigate an estimating equation for the quantile regression model for the residual lifetimes in this paper. It is closely related to the quantile regression model of Koenker (2002). However, our approach (1) deals with a conditional quantile given that subjects survived beyond t0; (2) employs the so called inverse censoring probability weighting method to accommodate censored ...
