The quarter median

Statistics Theory 2022-06-24 v1 Statistics Theory

Abstract

We introduce and discuss a multivariate version of the classical median that is based on an equipartition property with respect to quarter spaces. These arise as pairwise intersections of the half-spaces associated with the coordinate hyperplanes of an orthogonal basis. We obtain results on existence, equivariance, and asymptotic normality.
