Prediction in a Trivariate Normal Distribution via Two Order Statistics
In this paper, assuming that (X, Y1, Y2)T has a trivariate normal distribution, we derive the exact joint distribution of ( X, Y(1), Y(2))^T, where Y(1) and Y(2) are order statistics arising from (Y1, Y2)T . We show that this joint distribution is a mixture of truncated trivariate normal distributions and then use this mixture representation to derive the best (nonlinear) predictiors of X...
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 کاملStatistics notes. The odds ratio.
In recent years odds ratios have become widely used in medical reports—almost certainly some will appear in today’s BMJ. There are three reasons for this. Firstly, they provide an estimate (with confidence interval) for the relationship between two binary (“yes or no”) variables. Secondly, they enable us to examine the effects of other variables on that relationship, using logistic regression. ...
