2015年10月7日 · Is it true that multiplication of a chi-square random variable by a real constant remains chi-square? I tried to check this using a change of variables, but it didn't look promising.

2021年12月27日 · Logically, the chi-squared distribution is the sum of squares of normally distributed random variables. When we square a number, the shape of the distribution will inevitably be skewed to the right.

2013年5月31日 · +1 A couple of tidbits: Early on, the distribution of the square root of a chi-squared r.v., the chi distribution (χ χ -) was more widely used than now; useful for standard deviations. E.g. you can occasionally see in old papers or books people writing about the t t distribution as the distribution of the ratio of a normal to an independent (scaled) chi. One …

2017年10月9日 · In fact, we can see that in general, the quadratic form is distributed as a weighted sum of chi-squared random variables each with one degree-of-freedom. The general distribution for this form is complicated and its density function does not …

has a χ2n−1 χ n − 1 2 distribution. Why is this the sum of χ2 χ 2 distributions that sum to a chi-square distribution with n − 1 n − 1 degrees of freedom instead n n degree? Can anyone prove it for me?

2014年5月14日 · Did he have chi-squared in mind and devise the metric K K (bottom-up approach), or did he devise the statistic and later prove that it follows the chi-squared distribution (top-down)?

Then N is a random vector of r variables having multivariate normal distribution with mean vector 0 and covariance matrix U =. It follows that AZ = U Z = N is the sum of squares of r IID standard normal variables, so it has chi-squared (r) distribution.

It is well known that one can use χ2 χ 2 distribution to estimate the variance of normal distribution (i.e., N(0,σ2 N (0, σ 2)). Is there a particular reason of using χ2 χ 2 distribution? Or can we say that it is the "most accurate" way to estimate the variance of a normal distribution? Or does this "most accurate" thing exist? If it exists and it is not χ2 χ 2 distribution, then what ...

2019年10月3日 · This property follows from the central limit theorem, using the fact that the chi-squared distribution is obtained as the distribution of a sum of squares of independent standard normal random variables.

2018年6月29日 · Sample distribution of results and $\chi^2$ Below we plot the distribution of the results when the true suicide probability is 0.03 and the group sizes are 1000. For large group sizes, the distribution becomes more smooth/continuous and it can be approximated with a normal distribution.
