A likelihood analysis of quantile-matching transformations

Methodology 2020-01-14 v1

Abstract

Quantile matching is a strictly monotone transformation that sends the observed response values {y1,...,yn}\{y_1, . . . , y_n\} to the quantiles of a given target distribution. A likelihood based criterion is developed for comparing one target distribution with another in a linear-model setting.
