An Optimal Three-Way Stable and Monotonic Spectrum of Bounds on Quantiles: A Spectrum of Coherent Measures of Financial Risk and Economic Inequality

A spectrum of upper bounds (Qα(X ; p) αε[0,∞] on the (largest)  (1-p)-quantile Q(X;p)  of an arbitrary random variable  X is introduced and shown to be stable and monotonic in α, p, and X , with Q0(X ;p) = Q(X;p).    If p is small enough and the distribution of X is regular enough, then Qα(...
