We present on-line algorithms for computing approximations of rank-based statistics that give high accuracy, particularly near the tails of a distribution, with very small sketches. Notably, the method allows a quantile $q$ to be computed…
Quantile regression is a method to estimate the quantiles of the conditional distribution of a response variable, and as such it permits a much more accurate portrayal of the relationship between the response variable and observed…
Quantile regression is a powerful tool for inferring how covariates affect specific percentiles of the response distribution. Existing methods either estimate conditional quantiles separately for each quantile of interest or estimate the…
As data volume grows extensively, data profiling helps to extract metadata of large-scale data. However, one kind of metadata, order statistics, is difficult to be computed because they are not mergeable or incremental. Thus, the limitation…

We are given a set $\mathcal{Z}=\{(R_1,s_1),\ldots, (R_n,s_n)\}$, where each $R_i$ is a \emph{range} in $\Re^d$, such as rectangle or ball, and $s_i \in [0,1]$ denotes its \emph{selectivity}. The goal is to compute a small-size…
Stochastic optimization problems often involve data distributions that change in reaction to the decision variables. This is the case for example when members of the population respond to a deployed classifier by manipulating their features…
In distributional or average-case analysis, the goal is to design an algorithm with good-on-average performance with respect to a specific probability distribution. Distributional analysis can be useful for the study of general-purpose…

Subsampling is an efficient method to deal with massive data. In this paper, we investigate the optimal subsampling for linear quantile regression when the covariates are functions. The asymptotic distribution of the subsampling estimator…
