Sample Coefficient Of Variation

We study the finite-sample bias and mean squared error, when properly defined, of the sample coefficient of variation under a general distribution. We employ a Nagar-type expansion and use moments of quadratic forms to derive the results. We find that the approximate bias depends on not only the skewness but also the kurtosis of the distribution, whereas the approximate mean squared error depends on the cumulants up to order 6.

Many statistics are based on functions of sample moments. Important examples are the sample variance s2(n), the sample coefficient of variation SV (n), the sample dispersion SD(n) and the non-central t-statistic t(n). The definition of these quantities makes clear that the vector defined by (?ni=1Xi, ?ni=1Xi2)plays an important role. In the paper we obtain conditions under which the vector (X,X2) belongs to a bivariate domain of attraction of a stable law. Applying simple transformations then leads to a full discussion of the asymptotic behaviour of SV(n) and t(n).

Sample Coefficient Of Variation

In this paper we deal with large sample test for coefficient of variation when the observations come from a normal population. Such large sample tests are based on normal approximation for sample coefficient of variation. When the sa mple size is small or moderate, the normal approximation may not be accurate in the sense that the attained level of the test Is not close to the nominal level. Following Bhattacharya and Ghosh (1978), we obtain valid Edgeworth expansion for sample coefficient of variation to O(n-1) under simple null hypo thesis and contiguous alternative hypothesis. This helps one to determine the critical region such that attained level of significance is closer to the normal level and the power function is more accurate.
