Abstract: |
Suppose that $Z_1, Z_2, \cdots, Z_n$ are independent normal
random variables with common mean $\mu$ and variance $\si^2.$ Then $S^2=\f{\sum_{i=1}^n \limits (Z_i-\ov Z)^2 }{\si^2}$ and
$T=\f{\sqrt{n-1}\cdot \ov Z}{\sqrt{S^2/n}}$ have $\chi^2_{n-1}$ distribution and $t_{n-1}$ distribution respectively. If the normal assumption fails, there will be the remainders of the distribution functions and density functions. This paper gives the direct expansions of distribution functions and density functions of $S^2$ and $T$ up to $o(n^{-1})$. They are more intuitive and convenient than usual Edgeworth expansions. |
