This paper introduces generalized skew-elliptical distributions (GSE), which include the multivariate skew-normal, skew-t, skew-Cauchy, and skew-elliptical distributions as special cases. GSE are weighted elliptical distributions but the distribution
of any even function in GSE random vectors does not depend on the weight function. In particular, this holds for quadratic
forms in GSE random vectors. This property is beneficial for inference from non-random samples. We illustrate the latter point
on a data set of Australian athletes. 相似文献
This is a review of experimental studies of turbulent flow in a conical diffuser by eight Ph.D. students, eleven M.Sc. students, one M.Eng. student, and myself in the past 29 years. During this time, two conical diffusers were constructed: the first was of cast aluminum construction, and the second was of plastic fabrication. These two diffusers were basically the same in geometry except that the pipe section was constructed as an integral part of the plastic diffuser to avoid the lip at the junction of the inlet pipe and the diffuser. The conical diffuser had a total divergence angle of 8°, an area ratio of 4:1, and an inlet diameter of 0.1016 m (4 in.).
The flow at the inlet of the diffuser was usually fully developed pipe flow, but sometimes it was boundary layer grown on the pipe wall. Hot-wire and pulse-wire anemometry together with computer facilities were used to obtain the results of complex flow present in the conical diffuser. Mean velocity profiles were obtained throughout the diffuser, which in turn were used to obtain strain rates and their principal direction. Turbulence moments up to fourth order were measured. The results were used to assess momentum, turbulent kinetic energy, and shear stress equations. Other features such as instantaneous flow reversals in the wall region, relative strength of large eddies, extra strain rate, and the production of kinetic energy also were investigated to find the dynamical picture in the diffuser flow. 相似文献

This paper investigates the second-order nonlinear characteristics of random waves. Based upon the solutions derived strictly for 3-dimensional random waves in water of arbitrary uniform depth , the sea surface skewness and the second-order spectrum are exactly rededuced in a more reasonable way, and the bispectrum of sea surface elevation is theoretically given for the first time. 相似文献
A random variableX is said to have a symmetric distribution (about 0) if and only ifX and –X are, identically distributed. By considering various types of partial orderings between the distributions ofX and –X, one obtains various notions of skewness or one-sided bias. In this paper we study likelihood ratio tests for testing the symmetry of a discrete distribution about zero against the alternatives, (i)X is stochastically greater than –X; and (ii) pr(X=j)pr(X=–j) for allj>0. In the process, we obtain maximum likelihood estimators of the distribution function under the above alternatives. The asymptotic null distributions of the test statistics have been obtained and are of the chi-bar square type. A simulation study was performed to compare the powers of these tests with other tests. 相似文献
