Quantile matching is a strictly monotone transformation that sends the observed response values $\{y_1, . . . , y_n\}$ to the quantiles of a given target distribution. A likelihood based criterion is developed for comparing one target distribution with another in a linear-model setting.

分位数匹配变换的似然分析

分位数匹配是一种严格的单调变换，它发送观察到的响应值 $\{y_1, 。. . , y_n\}$ 到给定目标分布的分位数。开发了一种基于可能性的标准，用于在线性模型设置中将一个目标分布与另一个进行比较。
