This post aggregates research from several blog posts that I published during this year. It presents an overview of the Trimmed Harrell-Davis quantile estimator based on the highest density interval of the given width. Traditional quantile estimators that are based on one or two order statistics is a common way to estimate distribution quantiles based on the given samples. These estimators are robust, but their statistical efficiency is not always good enough. A more efficient alternative is the...
