Class WatsonUDist

java.lang.Object

umontreal.iro.lecuyer.probdist.ContinuousDistribution

umontreal.iro.lecuyer.probdist.WatsonUDist

All Implemented Interfaces:

Distribution

public class WatsonUDist
extends ContinuousDistribution

Extends the class ContinuousDistribution for the Watson U distribution (see). Given a sample of n independent uniforms u_i over [0, 1], the Watson statistic U_n² is defined by

W_n² = 1/12n + ∑_j=1ⁿ{u_(j) - (j-0.5)/n}²,
U_n² = W_n² - n(bar(u)_n -1/2)².

where the u_(j) are the u_i sorted in increasing order, and bar(u)_n is the average of the observations u_i. The distribution function (the cumulative probabilities) is defined as F_n(x) = P[U_n² <= x].
