Bayesian Bootstrap Method and an Application to the
Estimation of 85th Percentile in Traffic Engineering
Juan Carlos Correa
Abstract
The 85 th quantile plays an important role in transportation
engineering. In this paper we present different statistical procedures for its
estimation, considering both, parametric and nonparametric procedures. With an
example, we illustrate the difference between them.
Key words: 85th Quantile, Estimation,
transporting engineering.
