Basic Econometrics / Statistics Statistical Distributions: Normal, T, Chi-Sq, & F Course : Basic Econometrics : HC43 / Statistics B.A. Hons Economics, Semester IV/ Semester III Delhi University Course Instructor: Siddharth Rathore Assistant Professor Economics Department, Gargi College Siddharth Rathore guj75845_appC.qxd 4/16/09 12:41 PM Page 461 APPENDIX C SOME IMPORTANT PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS In Appendix B we noted that a random variable (r.v.) can be described by a few characteristics, or moments, of its probability function (PDF or PMF), such as the expected value and variance. This, however, presumes that we know the PDF of that r.v., which is a tall order since there are all kinds of random variables. In practice, however, some random variables occur so frequently that statisticians have determined their PDFs and documented their properties. For our purpose, we will consider only those PDFs that are of direct interest to us. But keep in mind that there are several other PDFs that statisticians have studied which can be found in any standard statistics textbook. In this appendix we will discuss the following four probability distributions: 1. The normal distribution 2. The t distribution 3. The chi-square (␹2 ) distribution 4. The F distribution These probability distributions are important in their own right, but for our purposes they are especially important because they help us to ﬁnd out the probability distributions of estimators (or statistics), such as the sample mean and sample variance. Recall that estimators are random variables. Equipped with that knowledge, we will be able to draw inferences about their true population values.

c 2013 Johannes Traa MULTICHANNEL SOURCE SEPARATION AND TRACKING WITH PHASE DIFFERENCES BY RANDOM SAMPLE CONSENSUS BY JOHANNES TRAA THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Assistant Professor Paris Smaragdis ABSTRACT Blind audio source separation (BASS) is a fascinating problem that has been tackled from many different angles. The use case of interest in this thesis is that of multiple moving and simultaneously-active speakers in a reverberant room. This is a common situation, for example, in social gatherings. We human beings have the remarkable ability to focus attention on a particular speaker while effectively ignoring the rest. This is referred to as the \cocktail party effect” and has been the holy grail of source separation for many decades. Replicating this feat in real-time with a machine is the goal of BASS. Single-channel methods attempt to identify the individual speakers from a single recording. However, with the advent of hand-held consumer electronics, techniques based on microphone array processing are becoming increasingly popular. Multichannel methods record a sound field from various locations to incorporate spatial information. If the speakers move over time, we need an algorithm capable of tracking their positions in the room. For compact arrays with 1-10 cm of separation between the microphones, this can be accomplished by applying a temporal filter on estimates of the directions-of-arrival (DOA) of the speakers. In this thesis, we review recent work on BSS with inter-channel phase difference (IPD) features and provide extensions to the case of moving speakers.

We obtain explicit form for the probability density function and derive expressions for distribution function, characteristic function and trigonometric moments. Method of maximum likelihood estimation is used for estimation of parameters. The proposed model is also applied to a Corresponding Author: real data set on repair times and it is established that the WLKD is better than log Kumaraswamy K.K.

Introduction a test, atmospheric temperatures, hydrological data, etc. Also, Kumaraswamy (1980) introduced a two-parameter this distribution could be appropriate in situations where distribution over the support [0, 1], called Kumaraswamy scientists use probability distributions which have infinite distribution (KD), for double bounded random processes for lower and (or) upper bounds to fit data, where as in reality the hydrological applications. The Kumaraswamy distribution is bounds are finite. Gupta and Kirmani (1988) discussed the very similar to the Beta distribution, but has the important connection between non-homogeneous Poisson process advantage of an invertible closed form cumulative (NHPP) and record values.

The Effect of Changing Scores for Multi-Way Tables with Open-Ended
The Effect of Changing Scores for Multi-way Tables with Open-ended Ordered Categories Ayfer Ezgi YILMAZ∗y and Tulay SARACBASIz Abstract Log-linear models are used to analyze the contingency tables. If the variables are ordinal or interval, because the score values affect both the model significance and parameter estimates, selection of score values has importance. Sometimes an interval variable contains open-ended categories as the first or last category. While the variable has open- ended classes, estimates of the lowermost and/or uppermost values of distribution must be handled carefully. In that case, the unknown val- ues of first and last classes can be estimated firstly, and then the score values can be calculated. In the previous studies, the unknown bound- aries were estimated by using interquartile range (IQR). In this study, we suggested interdecile range (IDR), interpercentile range (IPR), and the mid-distance range (MDR) as alternatives to IQR to detect the effects of score values on model parameters. Keywords: Contingency tables, Log-linear models, Interval measurement, Open- ended categories, Scores. 2000 AMS Classification: 62H17 1. Introduction Categorical variables, which have a measurement scale consisting of a set of cate- gories, are of importance in many fields often in the medical, social, and behavioral sciences. The tables that represent these variables are called contingency tables. Log-linear model equations are applied to analyze these tables. Interaction, row effects, and association parameters are strictly important to interpret the tables. In the presence of an ordinal variable, score values should be considered. As us- ing row effects parameters for nominal{ordinal tables, association parameter is suggested for ordinal{ordinal tables.

Measures of Dispersion
MEASURES OF DISPERSION Measures of Dispersion • While measures of central tendency indicate what value of a variable is (in one sense or other) “average” or “central” or “typical” in a set of data, measures of dispersion (or variability or spread) indicate (in one sense or other) the extent to which the observed values are “spread out” around that center — how “far apart” observed values typically are from each other and therefore from some average value (in particular, the mean). Thus: – if all cases have identical observed values (and thereby are also identical to [any] average value), dispersion is zero; – if most cases have observed values that are quite “close together” (and thereby are also quite “close” to the average value), dispersion is low (but greater than zero); and – if many cases have observed values that are quite “far away” from many others (or from the average value), dispersion is high. • A measure of dispersion provides a summary statistic that indicates the magnitude of such dispersion and, like a measure of central tendency, is a univariate statistic. Importance of the Magnitude Dispersion Around the Average • Dispersion around the mean test score. • Baltimore and Seattle have about the same mean daily temperature (about 65 degrees) but very different dispersions around that mean. • Dispersion (Inequality) around average household income. Hypothetical Ideological Dispersion Hypothetical Ideological Dispersion (cont.) Dispersion in Percent Democratic in CDs Measures of Dispersion • Because dispersion is concerned with how “close together” or “far apart” observed values are (i.e., with the magnitude of the intervals between them), measures of dispersion are defined only for interval (or ratio) variables, – or, in any case, variables we are willing to treat as interval (like IDEOLOGY in the preceding charts).

A Two Parameter Discrete Lindley Distribution
Revista Colombiana de Estadística January 2016, Volume 39, Issue 1, pp. 45 to 61 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15446/rce.v39n1.55138 A Two Parameter Discrete Lindley Distribution Distribución Lindley de dos parámetros Tassaddaq Hussain1;a, Muhammad Aslam2;b, Munir Ahmad3;c 1Department of Statistics, Government Postgraduate College, Rawalakot, Pakistan 2Department of Statistics, Faculty of Sciences, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia 3National College of Business Administration and Economics, Lahore, Pakistan Abstract In this article we have proposed and discussed a two parameter discrete Lindley distribution. The derivation of this new model is based on a two step methodology i.e. mixing then discretizing, and can be viewed as a new generalization of geometric distribution. The proposed model has proved itself as the least loss of information model when applied to a number of data sets (in an over and under dispersed structure). The competing mod- els such as Poisson, Negative binomial, Generalized Poisson and discrete gamma distributions are the well known standard discrete distributions. Its Lifetime classiﬁcation, kurtosis, skewness, ascending and descending factorial moments as well as its recurrence relations, negative moments, parameters estimation via maximum likelihood method, characterization and discretized bi-variate case are presented. Key words: Characterization, Discretized version, Estimation, Geometric distribution, Mean residual life, Mixture, Negative moments. Resumen En este artículo propusimos y discutimos la distribución Lindley de dos parámetros. La obtención de este Nuevo modelo está basada en una metodo- logía en dos etapas: mezclar y luego discretizar, y puede ser vista como una generalización de una distribución geométrica. El modelo propuesto de- mostró tener la menor pérdida de información al ser aplicado a un cierto número de bases de datos (con estructuras de supra y sobredispersión).

Wasko University of Maryland, College Park, MD Fisher’s correlation transformation is commonly used to draw inferences regarding the reliability of tests comprised of dichotomous or polytomous items. It is illustrated theoretically and empirically that omitting test length and difficulty results in inflated Type I error. An empirically unbiased correction is introduced within the transformation that is applicable under any test conditions. Key words: Correlation coefficients, measurement, test characteristics, reliability, parallel forms, test equivalency.

Principles of Statistical Inference
Principles of Statistical Inference In this important book, D. R. Cox develops the key concepts of the theory of statistical inference, in particular describing and comparing the main ideas and controversies over foundational issues that have rumbled on for more than 200 years. Continuing a 60-year career of contribution to statistical thought, Professor Cox is ideally placed to give the comprehensive, balanced account of the field that is now needed. The careful comparison of frequentist and Bayesian approaches to inference allows readers to form their own opinion of the advantages and disadvantages. Two appendices give a brief historical overview and the author’s more personal assessment of the merits of different ideas. The content ranges from the traditional to the contemporary. While specific applications are not treated, the book is strongly motivated by applications across the sciences and associated technologies. The underlying mathematics is kept as elementary as feasible, though some previous knowledge of statistics is assumed. This book is for every serious user or student of statistics – in particular, for anyone wanting to understand the uncertainty inherent in conclusions from statistical analyses.
