An empirical likelihood statistic for quantiles

Pages 85-95 | Received 03 Dec 1996, Published online: 20 Mar 2007
 

Abstract

In this paper a new version of the empirical log-likelihood ratio function for quantiles is presented. It is based on a suitable smooth version of the usual empirical distribution function and yields confidence intervals which are simple to compute and very accurate, even in small samples.
