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 …
