Moments of Linear Discriminant Functions and an Asymptotic Confidence Interval for the Log Odds Ratio
线性判别函数的矩与对数优势比的渐近置信区间
A general expression is obtained for the moments of a statistic which contains Anderson's linear discriminant function and the minimum variance unbiased estimator of the log odds ratio as special cases. The result is given in terms of certain invariant polynomials of matrix argument, and is used to derive the first four exact central moments, together with asymptotic expansions of the cumulants. This provides an alternative approach to Okamoto's expansion as an Edgeworth…
