Abstract
The author’s collaboration with Professor C. Radhakrishna Rao covers several topics. Some of these results will be presented in this note. In particular, the study of joint asymptotic distribution of the marginal sample quantiles and its use in developing tests of significance for population medians will be discussed. The estimation of the density quantile function at a point, which is needed in evaluating the asymptotic dispersion matrix of vector of sample quantiles, will also be described.
