✦ Synopsis
The extension of M -quantiles to a multivariate setting was originally introduced by Breckling and Chambers (Biometrika 75 (4) (1988) 761). In certain situations, their deÿnition does not produce intuitive results. We present an alternative deÿnition that overcomes these shortcomings.

A multivariate dispersion ordering based on quantiles more widely separated is defined. This new multivariate dispersion ordering is a generalization of the classic univariate version. If we vary the ordering of the components in the multivariate random variable then the comparison could not be poss
An appealing way of working with probability distributions, especially in nonparametric inference, is through "descriptive measures" that characterize features of particular interest. One attractive approach is to base the measures on quantiles. Here we consider the multivariate context and utilize
The asymptotic consistency of the bootstrap approximation of the vector of the marginal generalized quantiles of \(U\)-statistic structure (multivariate \(U\)-quantiles for short) is established. The asymptotic accuracy of the bootstrap approximation is also obtained. Extensions to smooth functions
An asymptotic theory is developed for the estimation of high quantile curves, i.e., sets of points in higher dimensional space for which the exeedance probability is \(p_{n}\), with \(n p_{n} \rightarrow 0(n \rightarrow \infty)\). Here \(n\) is the number of available observations. This is the situa
