A KERNEL-TYPE ESTIMATOR OF A QUANTILE FUNCTION UNDER RANDOMLY TRUNCATED DATA

【摘要】 <正>A kernel-type estimator of the quantile function Q(p) = inf {t : F(t)≥p}, 0≤p≤1, is proposed based on the kernel smoother when the data are subjected to random truncation. The Bahadur-type representations of the kernel smooth estimator are established, and from Bahadur representations the authors can show that this estimator is strongly consistent, asymptotically normal, and weakly convergent.更多还原
