How to estimate quantiles easily and reliably

We describe a practical recipe for determining when to stop a simulation which is intended to estimate quantiles of the unknown distribution of a real-valued random variable. The ability to reliably estimate quantiles translates into an ability to estimate cumulative distribution functions. The de...
