A new chi-square approximation to the distribution of non-negative definite quadratic forms in non-central normal variables
This note proposes a new chi-square approximation to the distribution of non-negative definite quadratic forms in non-central normal variables. The unknown parameters are determined by the first four cumulants of the quadratic forms. The proposed method is compared with Pearson’s three-moment central χ2 approximation approach, by means of numerical examples. Our method yields a better approxima...
متن کاملThe bivariate noncentral chi-square distribution - A compound distribution approach
This paper proposes the bivariate noncentral chi-square (BNC) distribution by compounding the Poisson probabilities with the bivariate central chi-square distribution. The probability density and cumulative distribution functions of the joint distribution of the two noncentral chi-square variables are derived for arbitrary values of the correlation coefficient, degrees of freedom(s), and noncen...
متن کاملA New Approximation for the Null Distribution of the Likelihood Ratio Test Statistics for k Outliers in a Normal Sample
Usually when performing a statistical test or estimation procedure, we assume the data are all observations of i.i.d. random variables, often from a normal distribution. Sometimes, however, we notice in a sample one or more observations that stand out from the crowd. These observation(s) are commonly called outlier(s). Outlier tests are more formal procedures which have been developed for detec...
متن کاملEdgeworth Series Approximation for Chi-square Type Chance Constraints
We introduce two methods for approximation to distribution of weighted sum of chi-square random variables. These methods can be more useful than the known methods in literature to transform chi-square type chance constrained programming (CCP) problem into deterministic problem. Therefore, these are compared with Sengupta (1970)s method. Some examples are illustrated for the purpose of comparin...
متن کاملNormal and lognormal approximation of frequency distributions by Chi-square and Kolmogorov-Smirnov analysis
With more than 500 biological data a frequency distribution analysis is worthwhile which may be approximated by a lognormal curve (in biology: order) or by a normal = Gaussian curve (coincidence, chaos). For the analysis of the data are in use the Chi-square and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests. In 587 patients with different diagnoses we investigated the tendencies of these groups towards (a) a ri...
