Abstract
In this paper design techniques for continuous parameter time series regression analysis are employed to develop a general approach to optimal spacing selection for the linear estimation of location and scale parameters by sample quantiles from uncensored or censored samples. The spacings derived from this approach are asymptotically optimal in the sense that they result in near optimal asymptotic relative efficiencies for large values of $k$, the number of spacing elements. A comparison with the optimum efficiencies for several distribution types indicates that the asymptotically optimum spacings perform well for $k \geq 7$. The regression framework is also utilized to develop sufficient conditions for optimal spacing unicity and to obtain asymptotically optimal spacings for quantile estimation.
