10 Definitions Definitions Let define the α-th quantile surfaces associated to P and seen from O R d. H the collection of all half-spaces and, the inner product in R d and { } H(O, u, y) = x R d : x O, u y H the halfspace standing at distance y R from O in direction u S d 1. Adil Ahidar (Institut de Mathématiques de Toulouse Convergence - CERFACS) of Multivariate Quantile Surfaces August 30, / 43

11 Definitions Given α (1/2, 1) and a direction u S d 1 let Y α (O, u) = inf {y : P(H(O, u, y)) α} be the u-directional α-th quantile range and H α (u) = H(O, u, Y α (O, u)) be the u-directional α-th quantile halfspace. Adil Ahidar (Institut de Mathématiques de Toulouse Convergence - CERFACS) of Multivariate Quantile Surfaces August 30, / 43

12 Definitions Remark that Y α (O, u) = F 1 X O,u (y) and thus Y α(o, u) is the α-th real quantile of the real random variable X O, u Definition (Multivariate quantile set) For α (1/2, 1], O R d and u S d 1 define the u-directional α-th quantile point seen from O to be Q α (O, u) = O + Y α (O, u)u (1) and the α-th quantile set seen from O to be the star-shaped collection of points Q α (O) = {Q α (O, u) : u S d 1 }.

29 Directional regularity assumptions Directional regularity assumptions Let = [α, α + ] 0 = ( α0, ) α+ 0, where 1/2 < α 0 < α 0 + < 1. Assumption A0 (A 0 ): for all u S d 1, for all open interval I F 1 X O,u ( ) P X O,u (I ) > 0 and for all x R P X O,u ({x}) = 0 Proposition Assume that d > 1 and (A 0 ) holds. Then the sets Q α (O), α, are closed surfaces with at most two connex components and are unions of convex surfaces. Moreover (u, α) Q(u, α) is continuous on S d 1. Adil Ahidar (Institut de Mathématiques de Toulouse Convergence - CERFACS) of Multivariate Quantile Surfaces August 30, / 43

30 Directional regularity assumptions From now we suppose for all u S d 1, the random variable X, u has a density f X,u on F 1 X,u ( 0). This implies A 0 Notation h u = h X,u = f X,u F 1 X,u. (3) Assumption A1 The function (u, α) h(u, α) = h u (α) is continuous on S d 1 and Remark: 0 < m inf α 0 inf h u (α) sup u S d 1 α 0 sup h u (α) M <. u S d 1 Assumption (A 1 ) does not imply that P has a density on R d. However it implies that P(H) = 0 for all H H. Under (A 1 ) h u = f X O,u F 1 X O,u do not depend on O. Allows supp P with low dimension.
