Quantiles are a fundamental concept in probability and theoretical statistics and a daily tool in their applications. While the univariate concept of quantiles is quite clear and well understood, its multivariate extension is more…
Univariate concepts as quantile and distribution functions involving ranks and signs, do not canonically extend to $\mathbb{R}^d, d\geq 2$. Palliating that has generated an abundant literature. Chapter 1 shows that, unlike the many…
