Let {Xi} be a sequence of r.v.s. nth stage we At the define e.d.f. as Fn (x) = (# Xi, ≤ x :≤ i ≤ n)/n and the ttn sample quantile as Qnt = inf {x : Fn (x) ≥ t} for t > 0 and = en(0+) for t=0. Most of the techniques of studying the process Qnt: 0 ≤ t≤ 1} consist of relating {Qnt} with some suitable linear statistics. The following are some of the commonly used methods for studying quantiles :(i) The Direct Methods In The Independent Case. Here, one can actually find the exact dis tribution …

There are many important statistical problems of the following kind. The family of probability measures O is parametrized by a vector parame ter n varying in a q-dimen- sional domain. P can be represented as an exponential family of probability distributions with k canonical para- me ters where k is greater than q. The canonical parameters do not vary in a domain in R, but are restricted by polyno- mial or analytic equations. They vary on a curved surface defined by the polynomial or analytic equations within the natural parame ter space of the exponential family. The present work is …
