Central Limit Theorem: A sampling distribution of the mean is approximately normally distributed if the sample size is sufficiently large. This is true no matter what the population distribution is.

Networks are a popular tool for representing elements in a system and their interconnectedness. Many observed networks can be viewed as only samples of some true underlying network. Such is frequently ...

Recurrence formulae for the density function and the probability integral of the multiple correlation coefficient from a normal sample are obtained. When the number of independent variates is odd ...

With the current interest in copula methods, and fat-tailed or other non-normal distributions, it is appropriate to investigate technologies for managing marginal distributions of interest. We explore ...

Here are four programs that demonstrate sampling distributions. For each one, a "population" of 20,000 elements is established. The user selects a sample size and random samples are drawn from the ...
