Quantile Versions of the Lorenz Curve
Luke A. Prendergast, Robert G. Staudte
The classical Lorenz curve is often used to depict inequality in a population of incomes, and the associated Gini coefficient is relied upon to make comparisons between different c…

When large n is not enough---Distribution-free Interval Estimators for Ratios of Quantiles
Luke A. Prendergast, Robert G. Staudte
Ratios of sample percentiles or of quantiles based on a single sample are often published for skewed income data to illustrate aspects of income inequality, but distribution-free c…

Exploiting the Quantile Optimality Ratio to Obtain Better Confidence Intervals for Quantiles
Luke A. Prendergast, Robert G. Staudte
A standard approach to confidence intervals for quantiles requires good estimates of the quantile density. The optimal bandwidth for kernel estimation of the quantile density depen…
