Conditional problem for objective probability

Otakar Kříž (1998)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

Marginal problem (see [Kel]) consists in finding a joint distribution whose marginals are equal to the given less-dimensional distributions. Let’s generalize the problem so that there are given not only less-dimensional distributions but also conditional probabilities. It is necessary to distinguish between objective (Kolmogorov) probability and subjective (de Finetti) approach ([Col,Sco]). In the latter, the coherence problem incorporates both probabilities and conditional probabilities...

A Note on Computing Extreme Tail Probabilities of the Noncentral t -Distribution with Large Noncentrality Parameter

Viktor Witkovský (2013)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Similarity:

The noncentral t -distribution is a generalization of the Student’s t -distribution. In this paper we suggest an alternative approach for computing the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the noncentral t -distribution which is based on a direct numerical integration of a well behaved function. With a double-precision arithmetic, the algorithm provides highly precise and fast evaluation of the extreme tail probabilities of the noncentral t -distribution, even for large values of the...
