3 1 Itroductio The coefficiet of variatio is defied as the stadard deviatio divided by the mea. This measure, which is commoly expressed as a percetage, is widely used sice it is ofte ecessary to relate the size of the variatio to the level of the observatios. McKay 1932) itroduced a χ 2 approximatio for the coefficiet of variatio calculated o ormally distributed observatios. It ca be defied i the followig way. Defiitio 1. Let y j, j = 1,...,, be idepedet observatios from a ormal distributio with expected value µ ad variace σ 2. Let γ deote the populatio coefficiet of variatio, i.e. γ = σ/µ, ad let c deote the sample coefficiet of variatio, i.e. c = 1 1 y j m) 2, m = 1 y j. m 1 j=1 McKay s approximatio K is defied as K = j= ) 1) c 2 γ 2. 1) 1 + 1)c2 As poited out by Umphrey 1983) formula 1) appears slightly differet i the origial paper by McKay 1932) sice McKay used the maximum likelihood estimator of σ 2, with deomiator, istead of the ubiased estimator with deomiator 1. McKay 1932) claimed that K is approximately cetral χ 2 distributed with 1 degrees of freedom provided that γ is small γ < 1/3). This result was established by expressig the probability desity fuctio of c as a cotour itegral ad makig a approximatio i the complex plae. McKay did ot theoretically express the size of the error of the approximatio. For this reaso Fieller 1932), i immediate coectio to McKay s paper, ivestigated McKay s approximatio K umerically ad cocluded that it is quite adequate for ay practical purpose. Also Pearso 1932) examied the ew approximatio ad foud it very satisfactory. Later Iglewicz & Myers 1970) studied the usefuless of McKay s approximatio for calculatig quatiles of the distributio of the sample coefficiet of variatio c whe the uderlyig distributio is ormal. They 2
4 compared results accordig to the approximatio with exact results ad foud that the approximatio is accurate. Umphrey 1983) corrected a similar study made by Warre 1982) ad cocluded that McKay s approximatio is adequate. Vagel 1996) aalytically compared the cumulative desity fuctio of McKay s approximatio with the cumulative desity fuctio of the aïve χ 2 approximatio N = 1) c2 γ 2 ad showed that McKay s approximatio is substatially more accurate. Vagel also proposed a small modificatio of McKay s approximatio useful for calculatig approximate cofidece itervals for the coefficiet of variatio. Forkma 2006) suggested McKay s approximatio for testig the hypothesis that two coefficiets of variatio are equal. Aother test for the hypothesis of equal coefficiets of variatio, also based o McKay s approximatio, was proposed by Beett 1976). It is thus well documeted that McKay s approximatio is approximately cetral χ 2 distributed with 1 degrees of freedom, ad useful applicatios have bee suggested. I this paper it is show that McKay s approximatio is type II ocetral beta distributed, ad its asymptotic behavior is ivestigated. 2 The distributio of McKay s approximatio If U ad V are idepedet cetral χ 2 distributed radom variables with u ad v degrees of freedom respectively, the ratio R = V/ U + V ) is beta distributed with v/2 ad u/2 degrees of freedom respectively. If V is istead a ocetral χ 2 distributed radom variable the ratio R is ocetral beta distributed Johso & Kotz, 1970). I this case Chattamvelli 1995) calls the distributio of R the type I ocetral beta distributio ad the distributio of 1 R the type II ocetral beta distributio. We shall i agreemet with Chattamvelli 1995) use the followig defiitio. 3
5 Defiitio 2. Let U be a cetral χ 2 distributed radom variable with u degrees of freedom, ad let V be a ocetral χ 2 distributed radom variable, idepedet of U, with v degrees of freedom ad ocetrality parameter λ. The type II ocetral beta distributio with parameters u/2, v/2 ad λ, deoted Beta II u/2, v/2, λ) is defied as the distributio of U/ U + V ). The followig theorem states that the radom variable K, claimed by McKay 1932) to be approximately χ 2 distributed, is type II ocetral beta distributed. Theorem 3. The distributio of McKay s approximatio K, as defied i Defiitio 1, is ) 1 γ 2 Beta II, 2 ) 1 2, γ 2. 2) Proof. Let s deote the stadard deviatio, i.e. s = cm. The the secod factor i 1) ca be writte = 1) c )c2 j=1 = y j m) 2 m j=1 y j m) 2 j=1 y j m) 2 j=1 y j m) 2 + U = j=1 m2 U + V, where U = j=1 y j m) 2 /σ 2 ad V = j=1 m2 /σ 2. Here U is cetral χ 2 distributed with 1 degrees of freedom. The average m is ormally distributed with expected value µ ad variace σ 2 /. Cosequetly m 2 /σ 2, i.e. V, is χ 2 distributed with 1 degree of freedom ad ocetrality parameter µ 2 /σ 2 = /γ 2. Sice the sums of squares j=1 y j m) 2 ad j=1 m2 are idepedet the theorem follows. It is well kow that /c is ocetral t distributed with 1 degrees of freedom ad ocetrality parameter /γ e.g. Owe, 1968). Theorem 3 is easily prove from this startig poit as well. We also ote that the factor 1 + 1/γ 2 ) i 2) is the expected value of U + V as defied i the proof of Theorem 3. This observatio suggests applicatio of the law of large umbers whe ivestigatig the covergece of McKay s approximatio. 4
6 Theorem 4. The distributio of McKay s approximatio K as defied i Defiitio 1, equals the distributio of U W, where U is a cetral χ 2 distributed radom variable with 1 degrees of freedom ad W is a radom variable that coverges i probability to 1. Proof. Let Z k, k = 1, 2,..., 1, be idepedet stadardized ormal radom variables. The U d = 1 1 Z k, which coverges almost surely to 1. Let also Z deote a stadardized ormal radom variable, ad let V = 1 Z + V / coverges i probability to 1/γ 2. Thus By Theorem 3 γ k=1 ) 2 = Z2 + 2Z γ + 1 γ 2. ) U + V p γ 2. 3) d K = ) U γ 2 = W U, U + V where W = 1 + 1/γ 2 )/ U + V ), by 3), coverges i probability to 1. Give Theorem 4 oe might assume that McKay s approximatio K is asymptotically ormal with mea 1 ad variace 2 1). Istead the followig result holds. Theorem 5. Let K defied i Defiitio 1. The be McKay s approximatio ad γ the coefficiet of variatio as K 1) 2 1) d N 0, 1 + 2γ 2 ) 1 + 2γ 2 + γ 4. 4) Proof. Let Z deote a stadardized ormal radom variable, ad let V = Z + /γ) 2. Let U be a cetral χ 2 distributed radom variable with 1 degrees of freedom, idepedet of V. The, by Theorem 3, K 1) d /γ 2 ) )U = 1) = A B, 5) 2 1) 2 1) U + V 5

B = C + D + E + F 7) C = U 1) d γ 2 N 0, 1 ) 2 1) γ 4, 8) D = 2 1)Z γ 1) d N 0, 2 ) γ 2, 9) E = U p 0, 10) 2 1) 1)Z2 F = p 0. 11) 2 1) Sice C is idepedet of D, results 7) 11) imply that d B N 0, 1 γ ) γ 2. 12) Results 5), 6) ad 12) yield the theorem. 3 Discussio We have see that McKay s χ 2 approximatio for the coefficiet of variatio is exactly type II ocetral beta distributed. This observatio provides isight ito the approximatio, origially derived by complex aalysis. We showed that McKay s χ 2 approximatio i distributio equals the product of a χ 2 distributed radom variable ad a variable that coverges i probability to 1. Nevertheless, accordig to Theorem 5, McKay s χ 2 approximatio is asymptotically ormal with mea 1 ad variace 2 1)1+2γ 2 )/1+γ 2 ) 2, 6
8 where γ is the coefficiet of variatio. Sice it has previously bee assumed that McKay s approximatio is asymptotically exact Vagel, 1996) it is surprisig that the variace does ot equal 2 1). It should be oted, however, that McKay s χ 2 approximatio is iteded for the cases i which the coefficiet of variatio γ is smaller tha 1/3. This requiremet should be fulfilled whe aalyzig observatios from a positive variable that is approximately ormally distributed, sice otherwise σ > µ/3 ad the probability of egative observatios is ot egligable. Provided that γ < 1/3 the stadardized McKay s χ 2 approximatio 4) coverges i distributio to a ormal distributio with expected value 0 ad variace larger tha 0.99 but smaller tha 1. McKay s χ 2 approximatio should cosequetly asymptotically be sufficietly accurate for most applicatios. Though the iverse of the coefficiet of variatio is ocetral t distributed ad algorithms for calculatig the cumulative desity fuctio of this distributio owadays exist Leth, 1989), McKay s approximatio is still adequate ad may be useful for various composite iferetial problems o the coefficiet of variatio i ormally distributed data. Algorithms for computig the cumulative distributio fuctio of the ocetral beta distributio were reviewed by Chattamvelli 1995).
