Conndence Tubes for Multiple Quantile Plots via Empirical Likelihood
نویسنده
چکیده
The nonparametric empirical likelihood approach is used to obtain simultaneous conndence tubes for multiple quantile plots based on k independent (possibly right-censored) samples. These tubes are asymptotically distribution-free, except when both k 3 and censoring is present. Pointwise versions of the conndence tubes, however, are asymptotically distribution-free in all cases. The various conndence tubes are valid under minimal conditions. The proposed methods are applied in three real data examples.

Confidence Tubes for Multiple Quantile Plots via Empirical Likelihood
The nonparametric empirical likelihood approach is used to obtain simultaneous confidence tubes for multiple quantile plots based on k independent (possibly right-censored) samples. These tubes are asymptotically distribution free, except when both k > 3 and censoring is present. Pointwise versions of the confidence tubes, however, are asymptotically distribution free in all cases. The various ...
متن کاملVisualizing Multiple Quantile Plots.
Multiple-quantile plots provide a powerful graphical method for comparing the distributions of two or more populations. This article develops a method of visualizing triple-quantile plots and their associated confidence tubes, thus extending the notion of a quantile-quantile (QQ) plot to three dimensions. More specifically, we consider three independent one-dimensional random samples with corre...
متن کاملExtending the two-sample empirical likelihood method
In this paper we establish the empirical likelihood method for the two-sample case in a general framework. We show that the result of Qin and Zhao (2000) basically covers the following two-sample models: the differences of two sample means, smooth Huber estimators, distribution and quantile functions, ROC curves, probability-probability (P-P) and quantile-quantile (Q-Q) plots. Finally, the stru...
متن کاملEmpirical Likelihood
Empirical likelihood is a technique for forming hypothesis tests and conndence sets based on nonparametric likelihood ratios. Many properties of parametric likelihood ratio functions have nonparametric parallels. The main one is that there is a nonparametric version of Wilks's famous result wherein an asymptotic chisquare distribution holds for the log likelihood ratio. The nonparametric versio...
متن کاملRandom Walk Approximation of Conndence Intervals
Construction of likelihood-based conndence intervals and regions is a computationally intensive task. In low dimensions (up to 2 or 3 parameters), an eeective method is to evaluate the likelihood over a dense grid. In higher dimensions proole-based methods (Bates and Watts, 1988) are eeective when it is practical to parametrize the model in terms of the quantities of interest, but it is diicult...
