Sample Sizes for Approximate Independence of Largest and Smallest Order Statistics
最大与最小次序统计量近似独立所需的样本量
Let Xn and X 1 be the largest and smallest order statistics, respectively, of a random sample of size n. Quite generally, Xn and X 1 are approximately independent for n sufficiently large. Minimum n for attaining at least specified levels of independence are developed. Level of independence is measured by the maximum difference between the true values of P(X 1 ≤x 1, Xn ≤xn ) and the corresponding values assuming independence of Xn and X 1. The results apply to all possible…
