Saddlepoint approximations for the sum of independent non-identically distributed binomial random variables
We discuss saddlepoint approximations to the distribution of the sum of independent nonidentically distributed binomial random variables. The saddlepoint solution is the root of a polynomial equation. The paper provides an expression for the coefficients of a polynomial of any degree, the root of which can be found using a simple root-finding algorithm. We examine the accuracy of the saddlepoin...
متن کاملMoment Generating Functions of Observed Gaps between Hypopnea Using Saddlepoint Approximations
Saddlepoint approximations is one of the tools to obtain an expressions for densities and distribution functions. We approximate the densities of the observed gaps between the hypopnea events using the Huzurbazar saddlepoint approximation. We demonstrate the density of a maximum likelihood estimator in exponential families. Keywords—Exponential, maximum likehood estimators, observed gap, Saddle...
متن کاملSaddlepoint Approximations for Expectations and an Application to CDO Pricing
We derive two types of saddlepoint approximations for expectations in the form of E[(X − K)], where X is the sum of n independent random variables and K is a known constant. We establish error convergence rates for both types of approximations in the i.i.d. case. The approximations are further extended to cover the case of lattice variables. An application of the saddlepoint approximations to C...
متن کاملSaddlepoint Approximations for the Doubly Noncentral t Distribution
Closed-form approximations for the density and cumulative distribution function of the doubly noncentral t distribution are developed based on saddlepoint methods. They exhibit remarkable accuracy throughout the entire support of the distribution and are vastly superior to existing approximations. An application in finance is considered which capitalizes on the enormous increase in computationa...
متن کاملSaddlepoint Approximations and Nonlinear Boundary Crossing Probabilities of Markov Random Walks by Hock
Saddlepoint approximations are developed for Markov random walks Sn and are used to evaluate the probability that (j − i)g((Sj − Si)/(j − i)) exceeds a threshold value for certain sets of (i, j). The special case g(x) = x reduces to the usual scan statistic in change-point detection problems, and many generalized likelihood ratio detection schemes are also of this form with suitably chosen g. W...
