Asymptotic representation of ratio statistics and its application

Yoshihiko Maesono

Abstract: Some statistics in common use take a form of a ratio of two statistics such as correlation coefficient, Pearson's coefficient of variation, cumulant estimators and so on. In this paper, obtaining an asymptotic representation of the ratio statistic until the third order term, we will discuss asymptotic mean squared errors of the ratio statistics and establish an Edgeworth expansion with remainder term o(n-1).
