Statistical Modelling with Quantile Functions

Galton used quantiles more than a hundred years ago in describing data. Tukey and Parzen used them in the 60s and 70s in describing populations. Since then, the authors of many papers, both theoretical and practical, have used various aspects of quantiles in their work. Until now, however, no one put all the ideas together to form what turns out to be a general approach to statistics.

Statistical Modelling with Quantile Functions does just that. It systematically examines the entire process ...
