Let X1, X2, X3, … be i.i.d. r.v. with E|X1| < ∞, E X1 = μ. Given a realization X = (X1,X2,…) and integers n and m, construct Yn,i, i = 1, 2, …, m as i.i.d. r.v. with conditional distribution for 1 ? j ? n. ( denotes conditional distribution given X). Conditions relating the growth rate of m with n and the moments of X1 are given to ensure the almost sure convergence of toμ. This equation is of some relevance in the theory of Bootstrap as developed by Efron (1979) and Bickel and Freedman (1981). 相似文献

For fixed p (0 ≤ p ≤ 1), let {L0, R0} = {0, 1} and X1 be a uniform random variable over {L0, R0}. With probability p let {L1, R1} = {L0, X1} or = {X1, R0} according as ; with probability 1 ? p let {L1, R1} = {X1, R0} or = {L0, X1} according as , and let X2 be a uniform random variable over {L1, R1}. For n ≥ 2, with probability p let {Ln, Rn} = {Ln ? 1, Xn} or = {Xn, Rn ? 1} according as , with probability 1 ? p let {Ln, Rn} = {Xn, Rn ? 1} or = {Ln ? 1, Xn} according as , and let Xn + 1 be a uniform random variable over {Ln, Rn}. By this iterated procedure, a random sequence {Xn}n ≥ 1 is constructed, and it is easy to see that Xn converges to a random variable Yp (say) almost surely as n → ∞. Then what is the distribution of Yp? It is shown that the Beta, (2, 2) distribution is the distribution of Y1; that is, the probability density function of Y1 is g(y) = 6y(1 ? y) I0,1(y). It is also shown that the distribution of Y0 is not a known distribution but has some interesting properties (convexity and differentiability). 相似文献

The following estimate of the pth derivative of a probability density function is examined: , where hk is the kth Hermite function and Σi = 1nhk(p)(Xi) is calculated from a sequence X1,…, Xn of independent random variables having the common unknown density. If the density has r derivatives the integrated square error converges to zero in the mean and almost completely as rapidly as O(n?α) and O(n?α log n), respectively, where . Rates for the uniform convergence both in the mean square and almost complete are also given. For any finite interval they are O(n?β) and , respectively, where . 相似文献

Optimization problems are connected with maximization of three functions, namely, geometric mean, arithmetic mean and harmonic mean of the eigenvalues of (X′ΣX)?1ΣY(Y′ΣY)?1Y′ΣX, where Σ is positive definite, X and Y are p × r and p × s matrices of ranks r and s (≥r), respectively, and X′Y = 0. Some interpretations of these functions are given. It is shown that the maximum values of these functions are obtained at the same point given by X = (h1 + ?1hp, …, hr + ?rhp?r+1) and , where h1, …, hp are the eigenvectors of Σ corresponding to the eigenvalues λ1 ≥ λ2 ≥ … ≥ λp > 0, ?j = +1 or ?1 for j = 1,2,…, r and , are linear functions of hr+1,…, hp?r. These results are extended to intermediate stationary values. They are utilized in obtaining the inequalities for canonical correlations θ1,…,θr and they are given by expressions (3.8)–(3.10). Further, some new union-intersection test procedures for testing the sphericity hypothesis are given through test statistics (3.11)–(3.13). 相似文献

Let α(n1, n2) be the probability of classifying an observation from population Π1 into population Π2 using Fisher's linear discriminant function based on samples of size n1 and n2. A standard estimator of α, denoted by T1, is the proportion of observations in the first sample misclassified by the discriminant function. A modification of T1, denoted by T2, is obtained by eliminating the observation being classified from the calculation of the discriminant function. The UMVU estimators, and , of ET1 = τ1(n1, n2) and ET2 = τ2(n1, n2) = α(n1 ? 1, n2) are derived for the case when the populations have multivariate normal distributions with common dispersion matrix. It is shown that and are nonincreasing functions of D2, the Mahalanobis sample distance. This result is used to derive the sampling distributions and moments of and . It is also shown that α is a decreasing function of Δ2 = (μ1 ? μ2)′Σ?1(μ1 ? μ2). Hence, by truncating and (or any estimator) at the value of α for Σ = 0, new estimators are obtained which, for all samples, are as close or closer to α. 相似文献

Let {Xn}n≥1 be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables. For each integer n ≥ 1 and positive constants r, t, and ?, let Sn = Σj=1nXj and . In this paper, we prove that (1) lim?→0+?α(r?1)E{N∞(r, t, ?)} = K(r, t) if E(X1) = 0, Var(X1) = 1, and E(| X1 |t) < ∞, where 2 ≤ t < 2r ≤ 2t, , and ; (2) if 2 < t < 4, E(X1) = 0, Var(X1) > 0, and E(|X1|t) < ∞, where G(t, ?) = E{N∞(t, t, ?)} = Σn=1∞nt?2P{| Sn | > ?n} → ∞ as ? → 0+ and , i.e., H(t, ?) goes to infinity much faster than G(t, ?) as ? → 0+ if 2 < t < 4, E(X1) = 0, Var(X1) > 0, and E(| X1 |t) < ∞. Our results provide us with a much better and deeper understanding of the tail probability of a distribution. 相似文献

The behavior of an infinite sequence of ordinary differential equations of the form: , , where Xn(t) is a vector valued function of R+, is studied in spaces of infinite sequences of vectors. In particular, sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability of this sequence of linear equations are established and applied to the stability analysis of a string of vehicles with a simple form of automatic control. 相似文献

Let Xn,1 ≤ Xn,2 ≤ … ≤ Xn,n be the ordered variables corresponding to a random sample of size n with respect to a family of probability measures {Pθ:θ ∈ Θ} where Θ is an open subset of the real line. In many practical situations the Xn,i are the observables and experimentation must be curtailed prior to Xn,n. If τn is a stopping variable adapted to the σ-fields {σ(Xn,1,…,Xn,k): 1 ≤ k ≤ n} and Pn,θ the projection of Pθ onto σ(Xn,1,…,Xn,τn), the local asymptotic normality of the stopped progressively censored likelihood ratio statistics is established with θ, and θ, u held fixed, under certain conditions on the underlying distribution and on τn. Conditions are also given to ensure the local asymptotic normality of likelihood ratio statistics where the underlying observations are given in a series scheme. 相似文献

The probability measure of X = (x0,…, xr), where x0,…, xr are independent isotropic random points in n (1 ≤ r ≤ n ? 1) with absolutely continuous distributions is, for a certain class of distributions of X, expressed as a product measure involving as factors the joint probability measure of (ω, ?), the probability measure of p, and the probability measure of . Here ω is the r-subspace parallel to the r-flat η determined by X, ? is a unit vector in ω⊥ with ‘initial’ point at the origin [ω⊥ is the (n ? r)-subspace orthocomplementary to ω], p is the norm of the vector z from the origin to the orthogonal projection of the origin on η, and , where α is a scale factor determined by p. The probability measure for ω is the unique probability measure on the Grassmann manifold of r-subspaces in n invariant under the group of rotations in n, while the conditional probability measure of ? given ω is uniform on the boundary of the unit (n ? r)-ball in ω⊥ with centre at the origin. The decomposition allows the evaluation of the moments, for a suitable class of distributions of X, of the r-volume of the simplicial convex hull of {x0,…, xr} for 1 ≤ r ≤ n. 相似文献
