Abstract

A sequential procedure of fixed-width confidence intervals for quantiles satisfying a condition of coverage probability is provided based on recursive density estimators. It is shown that the proposed sequential procedure is asymptotically efficient. In addition, the asymptotic normality for the proposed stopping time is derived.
