com.imsl.test.example.stat.EmpiricalQuantilesEx1

public class EmpiricalQuantilesEx1
extends Object

Computes empirical quantiles for rainfall data.

In this example, five empirical quantiles from a sample of size $30$ are obtained. Notice that the $0.5$ quantile corresponds to the sample median. The data are from Hinkley (1977) and Velleman and Hoaglin (1981). They are the measurements (in inches) of precipitation in Minneapolis/St. Paul during the month of March for $30$ consecutive years.
