Holonomic gradient method for distribution function of a weighted sum of noncentral chi-square random variables
نویسندگان
چکیده
We apply the holonomic gradient method to compute the distribution function of a weighted sum of independent noncentral chi-square random variables. It is the distribution function of the squared length of a multivariate normal random vector. We treat this distribution as an integral of the normalizing constant of the Fisher-Bingham distribution on the unit sphere and make use of the partial differential equations for the Fisher-Bingham distribution.

متن کاملEdgeworth Series Approximation for Chi-square Type Chance Constraints
We introduce two methods for approximation to distribution of weighted sum of chi-square random variables. These methods can be more useful than the known methods in literature to transform chi-square type chance constrained programming (CCP) problem into deterministic problem. Therefore, these are compared with Sengupta (1970)s method. Some examples are illustrated for the purpose of comparin...
متن کاملProbability Density Function of Kerr Effect Phase Noise
The probability density function of Kerr effect phase noise, often called the Gordon-Mollenauer effect, is derived analytically. The Kerr effect phase noise can be accurately modeled as the summation of a Gaussian random variable and a noncentral chi-square random variable with two degrees of freedom. Using the received intensity to correct for the phase noise, the residual Kerr effect phase no...
متن کاملAsymptotic Probability Density Function of Nonlinear Phase Noise
The asymptotic probability density function of nonlinear phase noise, often called the Gordon-Mollenauer effect, is derived analytically when the number of fiber spans is very large. The nonlinear phase noise is the summation of infinitely many independently distributed noncentral chi-square random variables with two degrees of freedom. The mean and standard deviation of those random variables ...
متن کاملInequalities for Noncentral Chi-square Distributions
Noncentral chi-square distributions play an important role in statistics. They occur for instance as exact or limiting distributions of test statistics under alternatives. To examine the power functions of such tests we come across the problem of comparing distribution functions of noncentral chi-square variables. In this section inequalities are presented, which make such a comparison possible...
