Quantiles 1 Random variable A with distribution function: has quantile function When A is continuously distributed F A (a) Pr[A a] Q A (p) inffa : F A (a) pg p = F A (Q A (p)) a = Q A (F A (a)) but not when A is discrete. For example: binary A has Pr[A = 0] = p 0 2 (0, 1) p0, a < 1 0, p p0 F A (a) = Q 1, a = 1 A (p) = 1, p > p 0 So e.g. if p 0 = 0.5, Generally F A (Q A (0.3)) = 0.5 F A (Q A (0.7)) = 1 F A (Q A (p)) p Andrew Chesher (CeMMAP & UCL) Identi cation 2 4/16/2008 3 / 28
