Asymptotic expansions are given for the distributions of latent roots of matrices in three multivariate situations. The distribution of the roots of the matrix S1(S1 + S2)?1, where S1 is and S2 is Wm(n2, Σ), is studied in detail and asymptotic series for the distribution are obtained which are valid for some or all of the roots of the noncentrality matrix Ω large. These expansions are obtained using partial-differential equations satisfied by the distribution. Asymptotic series are also obtained for the distributions of the roots of n?1S, where S in Wm(n, Σ), for large n, and S1S2?1, where S1 is Wm(n1, Σ) and S2 is Wm(n2, Σ), for large n1 + n2. 相似文献

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

Let V = (vij) denote the k × k symmetric scatter matrix following the Wishart distribution W(k, n, Σ). The problem posed is to characterize the eigenfunctions of the expectation operators of the Wishart distribution, i.e., those scalar-valued functions f(V) such that (Enf)(V) = λn,kf(V). A finite sequence of polynomial eigenspaces, EP spaces, exists whose direct sum is the space of all homogeneous polynomials. These EP subspaces are invariant and irreducible under the action of the congruence transformation V → T′VT. Each of these EP subspaces contains an orthogonally invariant subspace of dimension one. The number of EP subspaces is determined and eigenvalues are computed. Bi-linear expansions of and (tr VA)r into eigenfunctions are given. When f(V) is an EP polynomial, then f(V?1) is an EP function. These EP subspaces are identical to the more abstractly defined polynomial subspaces studied by James. 相似文献

If m and n are positive integers then let S(m, n) denote the linear space over R whose elements are the real-valued symmetric n-linear functions on Em with operations defined in the usual way. If is a function from some sphere S in Em to R then let (i)(x) denote the ith Frechet derivative of at x. In general (i)(x)∈S(m,i). In the paper “An Iterative Method for Solving Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations” [Advances in Math. 19 (1976), 245–265] Neuberger presents an iterative procedure for solving a partial differential equation of the form , where k > n, is the unknown from some sphere in Em to R, A is a linear functional on S(m, n), and F is analytic. The defect in the theory presented there was that in order to prove that the iterates converged to a solution the condition was needed. In this paper an iteration procedure that is a slight variation on Neuberger's procedure is considered. Although the condition cannot as yet be eliminated, it is shown that in a broad class of cases depending upon the nature of the functional A the restriction may be replaced by the restriction . 相似文献

Let Sp×p ~ Wishart (Σ, k), Σ unknown, k > p + 1. Minimax estimators of Σ?1 are given for L1, an Empirical Bayes loss function; and L2, a standard loss function (Ri ≡ E(Li ∣ Σ), i = 1, 2).

Let (Xn)n? be a sequence of real, independent, not necessarily identically distributed random variables (r.v.) with distribution functions FXn, and Sn = Σi=1nXi. The authors present limit theorems together with convergence rates for the normalized sums ?(n)Sn, where ?: → +, ?(n) → 0, n → ∞, towards appropriate limiting r.v. X, the convergence being taken in the weak (star) sense. Thus higher order estimates are given for the expression ∝f(x) d[F?(n)Sn(x) ? FX(x)] which depend upon the normalizing function ?, decomposability properties of X and smoothness properties of the function f under consideration. The general theorems of this unified approach subsume O- and o-higher order error estimates based upon assumptions on associated moments. These results are also extended to multi-dimensional random vectors. 相似文献

Asymptotic expansions are given for the density function of the normalized latent roots of S1S2?1 for large n under the assumption of , where S1 and S2 are independent noncentral and central Wishart matrices having the and Wp(n, Σ) distributions, respectively. The expansions are obtained by using a perturbation method. Asymptotic expansions are also obtained for the density function of the normalized canonical correlations when some of the population canonical correlations are zero. 相似文献

Let Xj = (X1j ,…, Xpj), j = 1,…, n be n independent random vectors. For x = (x1 ,…, xp) in Rp and for α in [0, 1], let Fj(x) = αI(X1j < x1 ,…, Xpj < xp) + (1 ? α) I(X1j ≤ x1 ,…, Xpj ≤ xp), where I(A) is the indicator random variable of the event A. Let Fj(x) = E(Fj(x)) and Dn = supx, α max1 ≤ N ≤ n |Σ0n(Fj(x) ? Fj(x))|. It is shown that P[Dn ≥ L] < 4pL exp{?2(L2n?1 ? 1)} for each positive integer n and for all L2 ≥ n; and, as n → ∞, with probability one. 相似文献

Let Σ be a set of n points in the plane. The minimal network for Σ is the tree of shortest total length LM(Σ) whose vertices are exactly the points of S. The Steiner minimal network for Σ is the tree of shortest possible total length LS(Σ) when the vertices are allowed to be any set Σ′ ? Σ. Clearly LS(Σ) ? LM(Σ), since the minimization in LS is over a larger set. It has long been conjectured that, conversely, , but this has previously been proved only if n = 3. In this paper, among other results, this is proved for n = 4. Unfortunately the proof is sufficiently complicated that immediate generalization to arbitrary n, no matter how desirable, is unlikely. 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

If A∈T(m, N), the real-valued N-linear functions on Em, and σ∈SN, the symmetric group on {…,N}, then we define the permutation operator Pσ: T(m, N) → T(m, N) such that Pσ(A)(x1,x2,…,xN = A(xσ(1),xσ(2),…, xσ(N)). Suppose Σqi=1ni = N, where the ni are positive integers. In this paper we present a condition on σ that is sufficient to guarantee that 〈Pσ(A1?A2???Aq),A1?A2?? ? Aq〉 ? 0 for Ai∈S(m, ni), where S(m, ni) denotes the subspace of T(m, ni) consisting of all the fully symmetric members of T(m, ni). Also we present a broad generalization of the Neuberger identity which is sometimes useful in answering questions of the type described below. Suppose G and H are subgroups of SN. We let TG(m, N) denote all A∈T(m, N) such that Pσ(A) = A for all σ∈G. We define the symmetrizer G: T(m, N)→TG(m,N) such that . Suppose H is a subgroup of G and A∈TH(m, N). Clearly We are interested in the reverse type of comparison. In particular, if D is a suitably chosen subset of TH(m,N), then can we explicitly present a constant C>0 such that for all A∈D? 相似文献

Let R = (r1,…, rm) and S = (s1,…, sn) be nonnegative integral vectors, and let (R, S) denote the class of all m × n matrices of 0's and 1's having row sum vector R and column sum vector S. An invariant position of (R, S) is a position whose entry is the same for all matrices in (R, S). The interchange graph G(R, S) is the graph where the vertices are the matrices in (R, S) and where two matrices are joined by an edge provided they differ by an interchange. We prove that when 1 ≤ ri ≤ n ? 1 (i = 1,…, m) and 1 ≤ sj ≤ m ? 1 (j = 1,…, n), G(R, S) is prime if and only if (R, S) has no invariant positions. 相似文献

In this paper we studied m×n arrays with row sums and column sums where (n,m) denotes the greatest common divisor of m and n. We were able to show that the function Hm,n(r), which enumerates m×n arrays with row sums and column sums and respectively, is a polynomial in r of degree (m?1)(n?1). We found simple formulas to evaluate these polynomials for negative values, ?r, and we show that certain small negative integers are roots of these polynomials. When we considered the generating function Gm,n(y) = Σr?0Hm,n(r)yr, it was found to be rational of degree less than zero. The denominator of Gm,n(y) is of the form (1?y)(m?1)(n?1)+3, and the coefficients of the numerator are non-negative integers which enjoy a certain symmetric relation. 相似文献

A function f(x) defined on = 1 × 2 × … × n where each i is totally ordered satisfying f(x ∨ y) f(x ∧ y) ≥ f(x) f(y), where the lattice operations ∨ and ∧ refer to the usual ordering on , is said to be multivariate totally positive of order 2 (MTP2). A random vector Z = (Z1, Z2,…, Zn) of n-real components is MTP2 if its density is MTP2. Classes of examples include independent random variables, absolute value multinormal whose covariance matrix Σ satisfies ?DΣ?1D with nonnegative off-diagonal elements for some diagonal matrix D, characteristic roots of random Wishart matrices, multivariate logistic, gamma and F distributions, and others. Composition and marginal operations preserve the MTP2 properties. The MTP2 property facilitate the characterization of bounds for confidence sets, the calculation of coverage probabilities, securing estimates of multivariate ranking, in establishing a hierarchy of correlation inequalities, and in studying monotone Markov processes. Extensions on the theory of MTP2 kernels are presented and amplified by a wide variety of applications. 相似文献

The probability generating function (pgf) of an n-variate negative binomial distribution is defined to be [β(s1,…,sn)]?k where β is a polynomial of degree n being linear in each si and k > 0. This definition gives rise to two characterizations of negative binomial distributions. An n-variate linear exponential distribution with the probability function h(x1,…,xn) is negative binomial if and only if its univariate marginals are negative binomial. Let St, t = 1,…, m, be subsets of {s1,…, sn} with empty ∩t=1mSt. Then an n-variate pgf is of a negative binomial if and only if for all s in St being fixed the function is of the form of the pgf of a negative binomial in other s's and this is true for all t. 相似文献

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

With any multiset n we associate the numbers (n, k) of compositions of n into exactly k parts. The polynomials kn(x) = ΣkO(n, k)xk are shown to form a multiindexed Sturm sequence over (?1, 0). As consequences we obtain the unimodality of the sequence {O(n, k)}k for any n, of the generalized Eulerian numbers, and of the number of compositions of n with certain supplementary conditions imposed on the parts. The strong logarithmic concavity of the Stirling numbers of the second kind also follows as a corollary. 相似文献

The Turán number T(n, l, k) is the smallest possible number of edges in a k-graph on n vertices such that every l-set of vertices contains an edge. Given a k-graph H = (V(H), E(H)), we let Xs(S) equal the number of edges contained in S, for any s-set S?V(H). Turán's problem is equivalent to estimating the expectation E(Xl), given that min(Xl) ≥ 1. The following lower bound on the variance of Xs is proved: , where m = |E(H)| and . This implies the following: putting t(k, l) = limn→∞T(n, l, k)(kn)?1 then t(k, l) ≥ T(s, l, k)((ks) ? 1)?1, whenever s ≥ l > k ≥ 2. A connection of these results with the existence of certain t-designs is mentioned. 相似文献
