The estimation problem of the quantiles ξ + bσ of an exponential distribution with unknown location-scale parameter (ξ, σ) is considered. We establish the admissibility of the traditional (best ...

We consider the problem of estimating the quantiles of a one-parameter exponential distribution. Using the estimated quantiles to predict the distribution function, and attempting to minimize mean ...

For a given set of covariates, x (including the intercept term), the pth quantile of the log response, y p, is given by where w p is the pth quantile of the baseline distribution. The estimated ...

Continuous Variable: can take on any value between two specified values. Obtained by measuring. Discrete Variable: not continuous variable (cannot take on any value between two specified values).
