On the Bahadur representation of sample quantiles for score functionals (Q6589596)

In this paper, the author extend the Bahadur representation (see [\textit{R. R. Bahadur}, Ann. Math. Stat. 37, 577--580 (1966; Zbl 0147.18805)]) to so-called score functionals, which possess a stabilizing property.\N\NThe present paper seems to contain several novelties which concern general mathematical aspects and relevant questions in geometric data analysis. It provides a self-contained framework and mathematical treatment of the Bahadur representation for score functionals. Since many models in geometric data analysis can be formulated in terms of score functionals establishing this classical connection between a (suitable) empirical distribution function and empirical quantiles is useful for applications which involve empirical quantiles.
