On singularities of sampling distributions, in particular for ratios of quadratic forms
抽样分布的奇异性:尤其是二次型之比
A general theory of singularities in sampling distributions, given previously for statistical functions on a Euclidean space, is here extended to functions on a hypersphere; in particular, to distributions of ratios of quadratic forms. The parent distributions chiefly considered are normal and nonsingular. The theory expresses the density of a sampling distribution as the sum of a singular function and a smoother remainder. Cases are adduced in which the remainder vanishes:…
