The Empirical Distribution Function • Def: The Empirical distribution function is the CDF that puts mass 1/n at each data point Xi. Formally, • Where
Theorems: The supremum or least upper bound of a set S of real numbers is denoted by sup(S) and is defined to be the smallest real number that is greater than or equal to every number in S. • MSE= • DKW inequality:
DKW: confidence level • L(x)=max{ ,0} • U(x)=min{ ,1} • Where • For an F
Statistical Functions • A statistical function T(F) is any function of F. • Mean: • Variance : • Median : m=F-1(1/2) • Plug-in estimator of is defined by • If for some function r(x) then T is called a linear function
Statistical Functionals continued • The plug-in estimator for linear functional • Assume we can find se, then for many cases: • Normal-based interval for 95% CL
Examples: • The Mean: let , the plug-in estimator is . • The Variance:
Examples Continued • The Skewness: • Correlation:
