Abstract

Given q[set membership, variant](0,1) and a sample X1,X2,...,Xn from an unknown , an estimator T*=T*(X1,X2,...,Xn) of the qth quantile of the distribution F is constructed such that EFF(T*)-q[less-than-or-equals, slant]EFF(T)-q for all and for all , where is a non-parametric family of distributions and is a class of estimators. It is shown that T*=Xj:n for a suitably chosen jth order statistic. The best median-unbiased estimator is also constructed.
