Sampling distribution mathematical derivations

The basic underlying assumption for the mathematical derivation of chi square is that a random sample was selected from a normal distribution with variance G. When the population is not normal but skewed, square probabihties could be substantially in error. 

First we can know the sampling distribution of a parameter considering mathematical derivations. Let Xi, Xi,..., X be a sequence of random variables. Consider the following examples ... 

Statistics and probability theory provided the analyst with the theoretical framework that predicts the uncertainties in estimating proj rties of populations when only a part of the population is available for investigation. Unfortunately this theory is not well suited for analytical sampling. Mathematical samples have no mass, do not segregate or detoriate, are cheap and are derived from populations with nicely modelled composition, e.g. a Gaussian distribution of independent items. In practice the analyst does not know the type of distribution of the composition, he has usually to do with correlations within the object and the sample or the number of samples must be small, as a sample or sampling is expensive. 

The Poisson distribution describes the occurrence of purely random events in what is effectively a continuous distribution of possible outcomes. Typical examples that can be described by this distribution are the number of radioactive disintegrations observed per unit time from a sample, or the number of bacteria in a unit volume of culture. There are different ways of deriving the mathematical form of this distribution, but the most direct for our purposes is from the binomial distribution discussed in the previous section. 

Equation (21-66) estimates the variance of a random mixture, even if the components have different particle-size distributions. If the components have a small size (i.e., small mean particle mass) or a narrow particle-size distribution, that is, and c are low, the random mix s variance falls. Sommer has presented mathematical models for calculating the variance of random mixtures for particulate systems with a particle-size distribution (Karl Sommer, Sampling of Powders and Bulk Materials, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1986, p. 164). This model has been used for deriving Fig. 21-46. 

The statistical distribution of rare events, such as the probabihty that an ion in a low intensity ion beam will strike a detector within a short sampling time inta-val, follows a distribution law first derived by the famous French math atician Simdon-Denis Poisson (1781-1840). Despite his many official duties, he found time to publish more than 300 works, sevraal of them extensive treatises most of which were intended to form part of a great work on mathematical physics, which sadly he did not live to complete. 

Suppose the distribution has mean, variance, and density function of /t, and f x). To illustrate the mathematical formulation of the estimator, we will do a detailed derivation that the sample mean is an unbiased estimator for the mean of the underlying distribution. We have...
