In the previous two posts, I discussed the idea of quantile estimators based on k order statistics. A already covered the motivation behind this idea and the statistical efficiency of such estimators using the extended Hyndman-Fan equations as a weight function. Now it’s time to experiment with the Beta function as a primary way to aggregate k order statistics into a single quantile estimation!...
