Abstract:

In the talk, we give a basic introduction to ranking and selection methods in one variable. Then using the multivariate quantiles defined by Tukey's depth function, we propose a non-parametric asymptotic procedure for selecting one of several multivariate populations. Simulation results will be presented to illustrate the efficiency of our procedure.
