On the estimation of the quantile density function

Author

  • Falk, Michael

Abstract

Under fairly general conditions, asymptotic normality is achieved for the histogram type estimator of the underlying quantile density function as well as for a kernel type competitor. This entails the comparison of the asymptotic relative efficiencies of these estimators.
