Approximating the Sampling Distribution of the T2 Statistic
Introduction The sampling distribution of a T statistic is well established when the statistic is based on observations taken from a multivariate normal population (MVN). With known parameters, the sampling distribution is always a chi-square distribution. In a Phase I operation with unknown parameters, where outliers need to be detected, the distribution of the T statistic is a beta distributi...
متن کاملApproximating the Distribution of the Scan Statistic Using Moments of the Number of Clumps
Let X 1 ; X 2 ; : : :; X n be randomly distributed points on the unit interval. Let N x;x+d be the number of these points contained in the interval (x; x + d). The scan statistic N d is deened as the maximum number of points in a window of length d, that is, N d = sup x N x;x+d. This statistic is used to test for the presence of non-random clustering. We say that m points form an m : d clump if...
متن کاملApproximating the F distribution via a general version of the modified signed log-likelihood ratio statistic
A simple normal approximation for the cumulative distribution function of the F distribution is obtained via a general version of the modified signed log-likelihood ratio statistic. This approximation exhibits remarkable accuracy even when the degrees of freedom are small. Using the same methodology, but with a simpler set up, simple and accurate normal approximations to the cumulative distribu...
متن کاملSampling distribution of the SAM statistic
1 Background We derive the sampling distribution of the SAM (significance analysis for microarrays) statistic introduced by Tusher et al. (2001). The statistic resembles the t-statistic, but has an additional regularizing term in the denominator, which is a constant for a given dataset. We first introduce some notation and the SAM statistic, and then proceed to derive an approximate sampling di...
متن کاملApproximating the limiting Quicksort distribution
The limiting distribution of the normalized number of comparisons used by Quicksort to sort an array of n numbers is known to be the unique fixed point with zero mean of a certain distributional transformation S. We study the convergence to the limiting distribution of the sequence of distributions obtained by iterating the transformation S, beginning with a (nearly) arbitrary starting distribu...
