Statistical Modelling with Quantile Functions

Statistical Modelling with Quantile Functions presents a fresh, practical approach to statistical modeling and offers a new perspective on statistical distribution. Together, this approach and perspective provide a modelling kit for both deterministic and random elements in models and give new insight into the structure of distributions. The methods described focus on the parametric use of quantile functions that lead to meaningful parameters and transform the model rather than the data. Many of the statistical tools introduced in the book will help readers build and investigate models for their own statistical problems.
