Il pdf di

Supponiamo che $X_1, X_2,...,X_n$ è tra $N(\mu,\sigma^2)$ con sconosciuto $\mu \in \mathcal R$ e $\sigma^2>0$

Sia $Z=\frac{X_1-\bar{X}}{S},$ S è la deviazione standard qui.

Si può dimostrare che $Z$ ha il pdf di Lebesgue

f (z) = \frac{\sqrt{n} Γ (\frac{n - 1}{2})}{\sqrt{π} (n - 1) Γ (\frac{n - 2}{2})} {[1 - \frac{n z^{2}}{(n - 1)^{2}}]}^{n / 2 - 2} I_{(0, (n - 1) / \sqrt{n})} (| Z |)

$f(z)=\frac{\sqrt{n} \Gamma\left(\frac{n-1}{2}\right)}{\sqrt{\pi}(n-1)\Gamma\left(\frac{n-2}{2}\right)}\left[1-\frac{nz^2}{(n-1)^2}\right]^{n/2-2}I_{(0,(n-1)/\sqrt{n})}(|Z|)$

La mia domanda è quindi come ottenere questo pdf?

La domanda è da qui nell'esempio 3.3.4 per trovare l'UMVUE di $P(X_1 \le c)$ . Riesco a capire la logica e le procedure per trovare UMVUE ma non so come ottenere il pdf.

Credo che a questa domanda si riferiscono anche a questo uno

Grazie mille per l'aiuto o indicare eventuali riferimenti correlati saranno anche appropriati.

Ciò che è così affascinante di questo risultato è quanto assomigli alla distribuzione di un coefficiente di correlazione. C'è una ragione.

Supponiamo che $(X,Y)$ sia normale bivariata con correlazione zero e varianza comune $\sigma^2$ per entrambe le variabili. Disegna un campione iid $(x_1,y_1), \ldots, (x_n,y_n)$ . È ben noto, e prontamente stabilito geometricamente (come ha fatto Fisher un secolo fa) che la distribuzione del coefficiente di correlazione del campione

r = \frac{\sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x}) (y_{i} - \bar{y})}{(n - 1) S_{x} S_{y}}

$r = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n(x_i - \bar x)(y_i - \bar y)}{(n-1) S_x S_y}$

f (r) = \frac{1}{B (\frac{1}{2}, \frac{n}{2} - 1)} {(1 - r^{2})}^{n / 2 - 2}, - 1 \leq r \leq 1.

$f(r) = \frac{1}{B\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{n}{2}-1\right)}\left(1-r^2\right)^{n/2-2},\ -1 \le r \le 1.$

(Qui, come al solito, e sono medie campionarie e e sono le radici quadrate degli stimatori di varianza imparziali.) è la funzione Beta , per cui $\bar x$ $\bar y$ $S_x$ $S_y$ $B$

\begin{matrix} (1) & \frac{1}{B (\frac{1}{2}, \frac{n}{2} - 1)} = \frac{Γ (\frac{n - 1}{2})}{Γ (\frac{1}{2}) Γ (\frac{n}{2} - 1)} = \frac{Γ (\frac{n - 1}{2})}{\sqrt{π} Γ (\frac{n}{2} - 1)} . \end{matrix}

$\frac{1}{B\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{n}{2}-1\right)} = \frac{\Gamma\left(\frac{n-1}{2}\right)}{\Gamma\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\Gamma\left(\frac{n}{2}-1\right)} = \frac{\Gamma\left(\frac{n-1}{2}\right)}{\sqrt{\pi}\Gamma\left(\frac{n}{2}-1\right)} . \tag{1}$

To compute $r$ , we may exploit its invariance under rotations in $\mathbb{R}^n$ around the line generated by $(1,1,\ldots, 1)$ , along with the invariance of the distribution of the sample under the same rotations, and choose $y_i/S_y$ to be any unit vector whose components sum to zero. One such vector is proportional to $v = (n-1, -1, \ldots, -1)$ . Its standard deviation is

S_{v} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n - 1} ((n - 1)^{2} + (- 1)^{2} + \dots + (- 1)^{2})} = \sqrt{n} .

$S_v = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n-1}\left((n-1)^2 + (-1)^2 + \cdots + (-1)^2\right)} = \sqrt{n}.$

Consequently, $r$ must have the same distribution as

\frac{\sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{i} - \bar{x}) (v_{i} - \bar{v})}{(n - 1) S_{x} S_{v}} = \frac{(n - 1) x_{1} - x_{2} - \dots - x_{n}}{(n - 1) S_{x} \sqrt{n}} = \frac{n (x_{1} - \bar{x})}{(n - 1) S_{x} \sqrt{n}} = \frac{\sqrt{n}}{n - 1} Z .

$\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n(x_i - \bar x)(v_i - \bar v)}{(n-1) S_x S_v} = \frac{(n-1)x_1 - x_2-\cdots-x_n}{(n-1) S_x \sqrt{n}} = \frac{n(x_1 - \bar x)}{(n-1) S_x \sqrt{n}} = \frac{\sqrt{n}}{n-1}Z.$

Therefore all we need to is rescale $r$ to find the distribution of $Z$ :

f_{Z} (z) = | \frac{\sqrt{n}}{n - 1} | f (\frac{\sqrt{n}}{n - 1} z) = \frac{1}{B (\frac{1}{2}, \frac{n}{2} - 1)} \frac{\sqrt{n}}{n - 1} {(1 - \frac{n}{(n - 1)^{2}} z^{2})}^{n / 2 - 2}

$f_Z(z) = \big|\frac{\sqrt{n}}{n-1}\big| f\left(\frac{\sqrt{n}}{n-1}z\right) = \frac{1}{B\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{n}{2}-1\right)} \frac{\sqrt{n}}{n-1}\left(1- \frac{n}{(n-1)^2}z^2\right)^{n/2-2}$

for $|z| \le \frac{n-1}{\sqrt{n}}$ . Formula (1) shows this is identical to that of the question.

Not entirely convinced? Here is the result of simulating this situation 100,000 times (with $n=4$ , where the distribution is uniform).

The first histogram plots the correlation coefficients of $(x_i,y_i),i=1,\ldots,4$ while the second histogram plots the correlation coefficients of $(x_i,v_i),i=1,\ldots,4)$ for a randomly chosen vector $v_i$ that remains fixed for all iterations. They are both uniform. The QQ-plot on the right confirms these distributions are essentially identical.

Here's the R code that produced the plot.

n <- 4
n.sim <- 1e5
set.seed(17)
par(mfrow=c(1,3))
#
# Simulate spherical bivariate normal samples of size n each.
#
x <- matrix(rnorm(n.sim*n), n)
y <- matrix(rnorm(n.sim*n), n)
#
# Look at the distribution of the correlation of `x` and `y`.
#
sim <- sapply(1:n.sim, function(i) cor(x[,i], y[,i]))
hist(sim)
#
# Specify *any* fixed vector in place of `y`.
#
v <- c(n-1, rep(-1, n-1)) # The case in question
v <- rnorm(n)             # Can use anything you want
#
# Look at the distribution of the correlation of `x` with `v`.
#
sim2 <- sapply(1:n.sim, function(i) cor(x[,i], v))
hist(sim2)
#
# Compare the two distributions.
#
qqplot(sim, sim2, main="QQ Plot")

I'd like to suggest this way to get the pdf of Z by directly calculating the MVUE of $P(X\leq c)$ using Bayes' theorem although it's handful and complex.

Since $E[I_{(-\infty,c)}(X_1)]=P(X_1\leq c)$ and $Z_1=\bar X$ , $Z_2=S^2$ are joint complete sufficient statistic, MVUE of $P(X\leq c)$ would be like this:

ψ (z_{1}, z_{2}) = E [I_{(- \infty, c)} (X_{1}) | z_{1}, z_{2}] = \int_{- \infty}^{\infty} I_{(- \infty, c)} f_{X | Z_{1}, Z_{2}} (x_{1} | z_{1}, z_{2}) d x_{1}

$\psi(z_1,z_2)=E[I_{(-\infty,c)}(X_1)|z_1,z_2]=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}I_{(-\infty,c)}f_{X|Z_1,Z_2}(x_1|z_1,z_2)dx_1$

Now using Bayes' theorem, we get

f_{X | Z_{1}, Z_{2}} (x_{1} | z_{1}, z_{2}) = \frac{f_{Z_{1}, Z_{2} | X_{1}} (z_{1}, z_{2} | x_{1}) f_{X_{1}} (x_{1})}{f_{Z_{1}, Z_{2}} (z_{1}, z_{2})}

$f_{X|Z_1,Z_2}(x_1|z_1,z_2)={{f_{Z_1,Z_2|X_1}(z_1,z_2|x_1)f_{X_1}(x_1)}\over{f_{Z_1,Z_2}(z_1,z_2)}}$

The denominator $f_{Z_1,Z_2}(z_1,z_2)=f_{Z_1}(z_1)f_{Z_2}(z_2)$ can be written in closed form because $Z_1 \sim N(\mu,\frac{\sigma^2}{n})$ , $Z_2 \sim \Gamma({n-1\over 2},{2 \sigma^2\over n-1})$ are independent of each other.

To get the closed form of numerator, we can adopt these statistics:

W_{1} = \frac{\sum_{i = 2}^{n} X_{i}}{n - 1}

$W_1 = {\sum_{i=2}^n X_i \over n-1}$

W_{2} = \frac{\sum_{i = 2}^{n} X_{i}^{2} - (n - 1) W_{1}^{2}}{(n - 1) - 1}

$W_2 = {\sum_{i=2}^n X_i^2 -(n-1) W_1^2 \over (n-1)-1}$

which is the mean and the sample variance of $X_2, X_3, ..., X_n$ and they are independent of each other and also independent of $X_1$ . We can express these in terms of $Z_1, Z_2$ .

$W_1={n Z_1 - X_1\over n-1}$ , $W_2={(n-1)Z_2+nZ_1^2-X_1^2-(n-1)W_1^2 \over n-2}$

We can use transformation while $X_1=x_1$ ,

f_{Z_{1}, Z_{2} | X_{1}} (z_{1}, z_{2} | x_{1}) = \frac{n}{n - 2} f_{W_{1}, W_{2}} (w_{1}, w_{2}) = \frac{n}{n - 2} f_{W_{1}} (w_{1}) f_{W_{2}} (w_{2})

$f_{Z_1,Z_2|X_1}(z_1,z_2|x_1)={n \over n-2}f_{W_1,W_2}(w_1,w_2)={n \over n-2}f_{W_1}(w_1)f_{W_2}(w_2)$

Since $W_1 \sim N(\mu,\frac{\sigma^2}{n-1})$ , $W_2 \sim \Gamma({n-2\over 2},{2 \sigma^2\over n-2})$ we can get the closed form of this. Note that this holds only for $w_2 \geq 0$ which restricts $x_1$ to $z_1-{n-1 \over \sqrt n}\sqrt{z_2} \leq x_1 \leq z_1+{n-1 \over \sqrt n}\sqrt{z_2}$ .

So put them all together, exponential terms would disappear and you'd get,

f_{X | Z_{1}, Z_{2}} (x_{1} | z_{1}, z_{2}) = \frac{Γ (\frac{n - 1}{2})}{\sqrt{π} Γ (\frac{n - 2}{2})} \frac{\sqrt{n}}{\sqrt{z_{2}} (n - 1)} (1 - {(\frac{\sqrt{n} (x_{1} - z_{1})}{\sqrt{z_{2}} (n - 1)})}^{2})

$f_{X|Z_1,Z_2}(x_1|z_1,z_2)={\Gamma({n-1 \over 2}) \over \sqrt{\pi} \Gamma({n-2 \over 2})} {\sqrt{n} \over \sqrt{z_2} (n-1)} (1-{({\sqrt{n} (x_1 -z_1) \over \sqrt{z_2} (n-1) })}^2)$ where

z_{1} - \frac{n - 1}{\sqrt{n}} \sqrt{z_{2}} \leq x_{1} \leq z_{1} + \frac{n - 1}{\sqrt{n}} \sqrt{z_{2}}

$z_1-{n-1 \over \sqrt n}\sqrt{z_2} \leq x_1 \leq z_1+{n-1 \over \sqrt n}\sqrt{z_2}$ and zero elsewhere.

From this,at this point, we can get the pdf of $Z={X_1- z_1 \over \sqrt{z_2}}$ using transformation.

By the way, the MVUE would be like this :

ψ (z_{1}, z_{2}) = \frac{Γ (\frac{n - 1}{2})}{\sqrt{π} Γ (\frac{n - 2}{2})} \int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{θ_{c}} c o s^{n - 3} θ d θ

$\psi(z_1,z_2)={\Gamma({n-1 \over 2}) \over \sqrt{\pi} \Gamma({n-2 \over 2})} \int ^{\theta_c} _{-{\pi \over2}} cos^{n-3} \theta d\theta$ while

θ_{c} = s i n^{- 1} (\frac{\sqrt{n} (c - z_{1})}{(n - 1) \sqrt{z_{1}}})

$\theta_c = sin^{-1} ({\sqrt{n}(c-z_1)\over(n-1)\sqrt{z_1}})$ and would be 1 if

c \geq z_{1} + \frac{n - 1}{\sqrt{n} \sqrt{z_{2}}}

$c \geq z_1+{n-1 \over \sqrt{n} \sqrt{z_2} }$

I am not a native English speaker and there could be some awkward sentences. I am studying statistics by myself with text book introduction to mathmatical statistics by Hogg. So there could be some grammatical or mathmatical conceptual mistakes. It would be appreciated if someone correct them.

Thank you for reading.
