Suppose are iid real random variables with
density f . Let be the X 's arranged
in increasing order.
- Find the joint density of .
- Suppose . Prove that is independent of .
- Find the density of .
- Find the density of .
Suppose are iid exponential. Let .
- Find the joint density of .
- Find the joint density of .
Suppose are iid N(,).
Let . Let .
- Develop a recurrence relation for and , expressing
and in terms of and .
- Find the joint density of .
- Generate data from N(0,1). By adding to the data for
some large values of k compare the numerical performance of these
recurrence relations to that of the one pass formula using
, and the usual computing formulas
for the sample variance.
Suppose X and Y are iid .
- Show that and are independent.
- Show that is uniformly
distributed on .
- Show is a Cauchy random variable.
