l. randall wray The Federal Reserve has done the inevitable. For months, members of the Board of Governors have been warning anyone who would listen that “the federal funds rate cannot be held at its current level indefinitely ” and must be raised “at some point to prevent pressures on price

We show how to to compute values and inverses (“percentage points”, or “cut-off points”) of the noncentral F and Beta distributions. The noncentral F distribution function for p and q degrees of freedom and noncentrality

, it is quite unwieldy to obtain percentage points of Pearson distributions when consulting the massive tables of Pearson and Hartley (1972) or using the out-of-date computer programs (Amos and Daniel 1971; Bouver and Bargmann 1974; Davis and Stephens 1983). The present study compiled a convenient computer

Key words: multivariate normal distribution; multiple comparisons; simultaneous confidence intervals This paper gives tabulations of the upper α percentage points of the maximum absolute value of the k-variate normal distribution with common correlation ρ for values of k as high as 500. The tables

of children across states of India. While on average across India a rich (top 20 percent of the asset index) child is 31 percentage points more likely to be enrolled than a poor child (bottom 40 percent), this wealth gap varies from only 4.6 in Kerala, to 38.2 in Uttar Pradesh and 42.6 percentage points

the effect of the number of homologues included in an alignment. For a multiple alignment consisting of 8 sequences with low similarity, the accuracy was improved (2–10 percentage points) when the sequences were aligned together with dozens of their close homologues (E-value, 105–1020) col-lected from a

This paper tabulates the distribution of the largest and smallest characteristic roots of a Wishart matrix; the computation is based on an approximation derived from work of Pillai. As an application, we present simultaneous confidence intervals for the variance components of the two-way layout with unequal variances. 1.

In this work, a simpler algorithm for computing probability values of a Chi-square (χ2) random variable X is provided. This algorithm accurately provides comprehensive χ2 probability values for all the range of X at specified degrees of freedom without further need to extrapolate before some desired χ2 probability values are obtained as a result of their non-availability in some of the currently available statistical tables. It is further demonstrated that, the p-values for any χ2-tests could be readily obtained from the χ2 probability values computed by our method.
