This paper examines further the problem of approximating the distribution of a continuous random variable based on three key percentiles, typically the median (50th percentile) and the 5% points (5th ...

Previously suggested methods for constructing confidence bands for cumulative distribution functions have been based on the classical Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for an empirical distribution function.
