Estimation of Variance of Normal Distribution using Ranked Set Sampling
Introduction In some biological, environmental or ecological studies, there are situations in which obtaining exact measurements of sample units are much harder than ranking them in a set of small size without referring to their precise values. In these situations, ranked set sampling (RSS), proposed by McIntyre (1952), can be regarded as an alternative to the usual simple random sampling ...
متن کاملMarkov chain Monte Carlo sampling of a normal distribution from an exponential distribution
The following is a simple example to show two important properties of a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampler and to illustrate the basic functionality of the method and issues relating to it’s usage. A Markov chain is a series where the realisation of the next element in the series, Y , is dependent only on the current state, X, and occurs with probability, P (Y |X). So the even number serie...
متن کاملAn Improved Visible Normal Sampling Routine for the Beckmann Distribution
Recently, Heitz and D’Eon [2014] proposed a method for importance sampling the distribution of visible normals in the context of microfacet BSDF models. One of their sampling routines internally relies on a discontinuous mapping, which can cause problems in conjunction with Quasi Monte Carlo sampling and Markov Chain Monte Carlo integration. In this report, we develop an alternative method that...

متن کاملOn Sampling from the Multivariate t Distribution
Abstract The multivariate normal and the multivariate t distributions belong to the most widely used multivariate distributions in statistics, quantitative risk management, and insurance. In contrast to the multivariate normal distribution, the parameterization of the multivariate t distribution does not correspond to its moments. This, paired with a non-standard implementation in the R package...
