| dc.description.abstract | Abstract. Some general asymptotic methods of estimating the
quantile function, Q(~), 0 < ~ < 1, of location-scale fainilies
of distributions based on a few selected order statistics are
considered, with applications to some non-regular distributions.
Specific results are discussed for the ABLUE of Q(~) for the
location-scale exponential and double exponential distributions.
As a further application of the exponential results, we discuss the
asymptotically best optimal spacings for the location-scale logistic
distribution. | en |
