Abstract:

The empirical likelihood is used to propose a new class of quantile estimators in the presence of some auxiliary information under positively associated samples. It is shown that the proposed quantile estimators are asymptotically normally distributed with smaller asymptotic variances than those of the usual quantile estimators.

Key words: Quantile, positively associated sample, empirical likelihood
