Confidence Tubes for Multiple Quantile Plots via Empirical Likelihood
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 confidence tubes are valid under minimal conditions. The proposed methods are applied in three real data examples.

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 کاملSmoothed Empirical Likelihood Methods for Quantile Regression Models
This paper considers an empirical likelihood method to estimate the parameters of the quantile regression (QR) models and to construct confidence regions that are accurate in finite samples. To achieve the higher-order refinements, we smooth the estimating equations for the empirical likelihood. We show that the smoothed empirical likelihood (SEL) estimator is first-order asymptotically equival...
متن کاملQuantile Inference for Near-integrated Autoregressive Time Series with Infinite Variance
The limiting distribution of the quantile estimate for the autoregressive coefficient of a near-integrated first order autoregressive model with infinite variance errors is derived. Since the limiting distribution depends on the unknown density function of the errors, an empirical likelihood ratio statistic is proposed from which confidence intervals can be constructed for the near unit root mo...
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...
