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.
