Limit Behaviors of the Deviation Between the Sample Quantiles and the Quantile


Shoufang Xu, Yu Miao




We discuss the limit behaviors for the deviation between the sample $p$-quantile $\hat{\xi}_{np}$ and the $p$-quantile $\xi_p$ by sampling from a sequence of independent and identically distributed samples of size $n$. The moderate deviation, large deviation and Bahadur asymptotic efficiency for ($\hat{\xi}_{pn}-\xi_p$) are established under some weak conditions.
