Coverage Probabilities of Bootstrap-Confidence Intervals for Quantiles
分位数自助置信区间的覆盖概率
An asymptotic expansion of length 2 is established for the coverage probabilities of confidence intervals for the underlying $q$-quantile which are derived by bootstrapping the sample $q$-quantile. The corresponding level error turns out to be of order $O(n^{-1/2})$ which is unexpectedly low. A confidence interval of even more practical use is derived by using backward critical points. The resulting confidence interval is of the same length as the one derived by ordinary…
