2.2 Quantile function (QF) Hyndman and Fan [18] first proposed the notion of a quantile function (QF). The quantile of LE-IE model is presented here, including a few usages. The quantile function of a distribution has several uses in both theoretical and applied statistics, including means ...

The O*NET Program is the nation's primary source of occupational information. O*NET information is used by millions of individuals every year, and the data have proven vital in helping people find the training and jobs they need. Bureau of Labor Statistics, a unit of the United States Depar...
Plugging in for λ yields the functional form for the distribution of y conditional on x, which is known as the conditional distribution function and is denoted F (y|x). F (y|x) is the distribution for y for each given value of x. Some algebra yields that F (y|x) = 1 − exp...
These mathematics strands are the building blocks of the well-known Quantile Framework and include Algebra & Algebraic Thinking, Number Sense, Numerical Operations, Measurement, Geometry, Data Analysis, Statistics & Probability. The Quantile scale is used to measure both student mathematics ab...
In the sequel, we show that performance guarantees can still be derived for the check loss as well as other non-Bregman loss functions. What is key for the guarantees to hold is a notion akin to stochastic equicontinuity of the loss function. 2.3 Estimation As usual in the CAViaR literature...
For our work we frequently need to compute weighted quantiles. This is especially important when we need to weigh data from recent years more heavily in making predictions. I've put together a function (called weighted_quantile) largely ...
The estimation and inference the parameters of interest are provided in Appendix A.3.1 Parameters of Interest For two random variables U and V, let F U (u) denote the distribution function of U, Supp(U) the support of U, and F U|V (u) the conditional distribution of U given V. The...
In the above equation,Q(.)is the estimated quantile point for the q-quantile (or (q*100)th percentile). As before,f(β_cap,x_i)is a function that yields the estimated value of the desired q-quantile point subject to the constraint that the probability of any observed value ofybeing ...
Benefiting from an apparently higher tractability, estimates of the knowledge production function have been growing in number in the last thirty years and have substantially contributed to opening up the innovation “black-box”. Conversely, estimates of the production function as such for the same pu...
