On the null distribution of b1 for samples of size at most 25, with tables
样本量不超过 25 时 b1 的零分布及数值表
For the sampling distribution of √b1 in samples of size n from a normal parent, leading singular terms of the density fn at its singularities are obtained by application of a general method given previously. These terms are combined with correcting terms, fitted by moments, to give approximations to fn, integrals of which were used to compute a table of the distribution function Fn for 4 ≤ n ≤ 12: for l3 ≤ n ≤ 25 Gram-Charlier expansions were used. A recurrence for the…
