Sharp moderate and large deviations for sample quantiles

Abstract: In this article, we discuss the sharp moderate and large deviations between the quantiles of population and the quantiles of samples. Cram\'{e}r type moderate deviations and Bahadur-Rao type large deviations are established with some mild conditions. The results refine the moderate and large deviation principles of Xu and Miao [Filomat 2011; 25(2): 197-206].
