The 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 کاملInequalities for Noncentral Chi-square Distributions
Noncentral chi-square distributions play an important role in statistics. They occur for instance as exact or limiting distributions of test statistics under alternatives. To examine the power functions of such tests we come across the problem of comparing distribution functions of noncentral chi-square variables. In this section inequalities are presented, which make such a comparison possible...
متن کاملOn the Multivariate Asymptotic Distribution of Sequential Chi-square Statistics
The multivariate asymptotic distribution of sequential Chi-square test statistics is investigated. It is shown that: (a) when sequential Chi-square statistics are calculated for nested models on the same data, the statistics have an asymptotic intercorrelation which may be expressed in closed form, and which is, in many cases, quite high; and (b) sequential Chi-square difference tests are asymp...
متن کاملNormal Versus Noncentral Chi-square Asymptotics of Misspecified Models.
The noncentral chi-square approximation of the distribution of the likelihood ratio (LR) test statistic is a critical part of the methodology in structural equation modeling. Recently, it was argued by some authors that in certain situations normal distributions may give a better approximation of the distribution of the LR test statistic. The main goal of this article is to evaluate the validit...
متن کاملHolonomic gradient method for distribution function of a weighted sum of noncentral chi-square random variables
We apply the holonomic gradient method to compute the distribution function of a weighted sum of independent noncentral chi-square random variables. It is the distribution function of the squared length of a multivariate normal random vector. We treat this distribution as an integral of the normalizing constant of the Fisher-Bingham distribution on the unit sphere and make use of the partial di...
