Abstract

The quantity deficiency which was proposed by Hodges and Lehmann (1970) is used to compare different statistical procedures. In this article, the deficiency of the sample quantile estimator with respect to the kernel quantile estimator for left truncated and right censored (LTRC) data in the sense of Hodges and Lehmann is considered. We also give the optimal bandwidth for the kernel quantile estimator. Monte Carlo studies are conducted to illustrate our results.
