Expectile <strong>regression</strong><br />

Interrelationship between <strong>expectile</strong>s <strong>and</strong> quantiles† III<br />

Thus, G is the inverse of the <strong>expectile</strong> function, <strong>and</strong> its derivative is<br />

g(t) =<br />

µF (t) − P(t)<br />

{2(P(t) − tF (t)) + t − µ} 2 . (10)<br />

It can be shown that G is actually a distribution function (so that g is its<br />

density function). That is, the <strong>expectile</strong>s of F are precisely the quantiles<br />

of G defined here.<br />

generation for the distribution associated with the <strong>expectile</strong>s of several<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ardized distributions. These functions are available in VGAM.<br />
