Saddlepoint Approximations

A saddlepoint approximation is derived for the cumulative distribution function of the sample mean of n independent bivariate random vectors. The derivations use Lugannani and Rice's saddlepoint formula and the standard bivariated normal distribution function. The separate versions of the approximation for the discrete cases are also given. A Monte Carlo study shows that the new approximation is very accurate.

AbstractAn asymptotic approximation is obtained, as k → ∞, for the integralwhere Φ is the cumulative distribution function for a standard normal random variable, and L is a positive constant. The problem is motivated by a question in statistics, and an outline of'the application is given. Similar methods may be used to approximate other integrals involving the normal distribution.

General Properties

We look at the issue of obtaining a variance like measure associated with probability distributions over ordinal sets. We call these dissonance measures. We specify some general properties desired in these dissonance measures. The centrality of the cumulative distribution function in formulating the concept of dissonance is pointed out. We introduce some specific examples of measures of dissonance.
