Title: Quantile processes and their applications in finite populations
Authors: Anurag Dey - University of Maryland College Park (United States) [presenting]
Abstract: The purpose is to discuss the weak convergence of the quantile processes, which are constructed based on different estimators of the finite population quantiles under various well-known sampling designs. The results related to the weak convergence of these quantile processes are applied to find asymptotic distributions of the smooth L-estimators and the estimators of smooth functions of finite population quantiles. Based on these asymptotic distributions, confidence intervals are constructed for several finite population parameters like the median, the -trimmed means, the interquartile range, and the quantile-based measure of skewness.
