ON STANDARD NORMAL CONVERGENCE OF THE MULTIVARIATE STUDENT t-STATISTIC FOR SYMMETRIC RANDOM VECTORS
نویسنده
چکیده
It is proved that if the multivariate Student t-statistic based on i.i.d. symmetric random vectors is asymptotically standard normal, then these random vectors are in the generalized domain of attraction of the normal law. Uniform integrability is also considered, even in the absence of symmetry.

متن کاملApproximating the Distributions of Singular Quadratic Expressions and their Ratios
Noncentral indefinite quadratic expressions in possibly non- singular normal vectors are represented in terms of the difference of two positive definite quadratic forms and an independently distributed linear combination of standard normal random variables. This result also ap- plies to quadratic forms in singular normal vectors for which no general representation is currently available. The ...
متن کاملHessian Stochastic Ordering in the Family of multivariate Generalized Hyperbolic Distributions and its Applications
In this paper, random vectors following the multivariate generalized hyperbolic (GH) distribution are compared using the hessian stochastic order. This family includes the classes of symmetric and asymmetric distributions by which different behaviors of kurtosis in skewed and heavy tail data can be captured. By considering some closed convex cones and their duals, we derive some necessary and s...
متن کاملExact Convergence Rate and Leading Term in Central Limit Theorem for Student ’ S T Statistic
The leading term in the normal approximation to the distribution of Student’s t statistic is derived in a general setting, with the sole assumption being that the sampled distribution is in the domain of attraction of a normal law. The form of the leading term is shown to have its origin in the way in which extreme data influence properties of the Studentized sum. The leading-term approximation...
متن کاملMaster Thesis Multivariate Skew-Normal Distributions and their Extremal Properties
In this master thesis we explore skewed distributions extended from the normal distribution. A transition from the symmetric to an asymmetric setting is formulated for the univariate as well as the multivariate case. This is done by introducing an additional infinite-dimensional parameter, namely a skewing function π. Our main focus is on the extremal behavior of such skewed random vectors. For...
