Prove that a pdf (or pmf) \(f(x)\) is symmetric about 0 if and only if its mgf is symmetric about 0 , provided the mgf exists.
Consider the rank correlation coefficient given by \(r_{q c}\) in Part (c) of
Exercise 10.8.5. Let \(Q_{2 X}\) and \(Q_{2 Y}\) denote the medians of the samples
\(X_{1}, \ldots, X_{n}\) and \(Y_{1}, \ldots, Y_{n}\), respectively. Now consider
the four quadrants:
$$
\begin{aligned}
I &=\left\\{(x, y): x>Q_{2 X}, y>Q_{2 Y}\right\\} \\
I I &=\left\\{(x, y): x
Let the scores \(a(i)\) be generated by \(a_{\varphi}(i)=\varphi(i /(n+1)\), for \(i=1, \ldots, n\). where \(\int_{0}^{1} \varphi(u) d u=0\) and \(\int_{0}^{1} \varphi^{2}(u) d u=1 .\) Using Riemann sums, with subintervals of equal length, of the integrals \(\int_{0}^{1} \varphi(u) d u\) and \(\int_{0}^{1} \varphi^{2}(u) d u\), show that \(\sum_{i=1}^{n} a(i) \doteq 0\) and \(\sum_{i=1}^{n} a^{2}(i) \doteq n\)
_{j}\left\\{R\left(Y_{j}\right)>\frac{n+1… # Consider the sign scores test procedure discussed in Example 10.5.4. (a) Show that \(W_{S}=2 W_{S}^{*}-n_{2}\), where \(W_{S}^{*}=\\#_{j}\left\\{R\left(Y_{j}\right)>\frac{n+1}{2}\right\\} .\) Hence, \(W_{S}^{*}\) is an equivalent test statistic. Find the null mean and variance of \(W_{S}\). (b) Show that \(W_{S}^{*}=\\#_{j}\left\\{Y_{j}>\theta^{*}\right\\}\), where \(\theta^{*}\) is the combined sample median. (c) Suppose \(n\) is even. Letting \(W_{X S}^{*}=\\#_{i}\left\\{X_{i}>\theta^{*}\right\\}\), show that we can table \(W_{S}^{*}\) in the following \(2 \times 2\) contingency table with all margins fixed: Show that the usual \(\chi^{2}\) goodness-of-fit is the same as \(Z_{S}^{2}\) where \(Z_{S}\) is the standardized \(z\) -test based on \(W_{S} .\) This is often called Mood's Median Test.
Show that the test given by (10.2.6) has asymptotically level \(\alpha\); that is, show that under \(H_{0}\) $$ \left[S\left(\theta_{0}\right)-(n / 2)\right] /(\sqrt{n} / 2) \stackrel{D}{\rightarrow} Z $$ where \(Z\) has a \(N(0,1)\) distribution.
