An Edgeworth Expansion for Finite Population U-statistics
نویسنده
چکیده
Suppose that U is a U-statistic of degree two based on N random observations drawn without replacement from a nite population. For the distribution of a standardized version of U we construct an Edgeworth expansion with remainder O(N ?1) provided that the linear part of the statistic satisses a Cram er type condition.

Edgeworth Expansions for Sampling without Replacement from Finite Populations
The validity of the one-term Edgeworth expansion is proved for the multivariate mean of a random sample drawn without replacement under a limiting non-latticeness condition on the population. The theorem is applied to deduce the oneterm expansion for the univariate statistics which can be expressed in a certain linear plus quadratic form. An application of the results to the theory of bootstrap...
متن کاملOrthogonal Decomposition of Finite Population Statistics and Its Applications to Distributional Asymptotics
We study orthogonal decomposition of symmetric statistics based on samples drawn without replacement from finite populations. Under very mild smoothness conditions the first k terms of the decomposition provide stochastic expansion with remainder O(N−k/2). Assuming that the linear part of the decomposition is nondegenerate we establish one term Edgeworth expansion of the distribution function o...
متن کاملA Note on Edgeworth Expansions for the Lattice Case
It is shown in this note that the one-term Edgeworth expansion for the standardized sample mean of n independent lattice random vectors when perturbed by a random variable (l/&)U is the same as in the strongly non-lattice case, where U is a bounded random variable depending only on a basis of the associated minimal lattice. An explicit form of U is given. Some applications to the student&d stat...
متن کاملError bounds for high–dimensional Edgeworth expansions for some tests on covariance matrices
Problems of testing three hypotheses : (i) equality of covariance matrices of several multivariate normal populations, (ii) sphericity, and (iii) that a covariance matrix is equal to a specified one, are treated. High–dimensional Edgeworth expansions of the null distributions of the modified likelihood ratio test statistics are derived. Computable error bounds of the expansions are derived for ...
متن کاملEdgeworth Expansions: a Brief Review of Zhidong Bai’s Contributions
Professor Bai's contributions to Edgeworth Expansions are reviewed. Author's collaborations with Professor Bai on the topic are also discussed. I have the pleasure of collaborating with Professor Bai Zhidong on many papers including three [2–4] on Edgeworth expansions. The earliest work of Bai on Edgeworth expansions that I came across is the English translation [10] of his joint work with Lin ...
