Minimum variance unbiased estimates of the inverse Gaussian distribution function for all possible cases are given. A direct relationship is established between its density function and the normal ...

The information contained in a discrete two-way contingency table can be decomposed into three independent components: row marginals, column marginals and cross-product ratios. The log-linear models ...

This column is the fourth in a series on parameter estimation, leading up to the justly famous Kalman filter. The discipline is based on the fact that our knowledge of the state of any real-world ...

You can use the CDFPLOT statement to fit any of six theoretical distributions (beta, exponential, gamma, lognormal, normal, and Weibull) and superimpose them on the cdf plot. The following statements ...

The rich get richer or success breeds success effect, also called Matthew’s principle from the parable of the Talents in Matthiew 25:14-30), has been invoked many times in the sociology of science to ...

SAS/INSIGHT software provides tests for the null hypothesis that the input data values are a random sample from a normal distribution. These test statistics include the Shapiro-Wilk statistic (W) and ...
