Parameters

n
Type: System..::.Int32
On entry: n, the sample size.
Constraint: n≥1.
exp1
Type: System..::.Double
On entry: the expected value of the largest Normal order statistic, mn, from a sample of size n.
exp2
Type: System..::.Double
On entry: the expected value of the second largest Normal order statistic, mn-1, from a sample of size n.
sumssq
Type: System..::.Double
On entry: the sum of squares of the expected values of the Normal order statistics from a sample of size n.
vec
Type: array< System..::.Double >[]()[]
An array of size [n×n+1/2]
On exit: the upper triangle of the n by n variance-covariance matrix packed by column. Thus element Vij is stored in vec[i+j×j-1/1], for 1≤i≤j≤n.
ifail
Type: System..::.Int32 %
On exit: ifail=0 unless the method detects an error (see [Error Indicators and Warnings]).

Description

g01dc is an adaptation of the Applied Statistics Algorithm AS 128, see Davis and Stephens (1978). An approximation to the variance-covariance matrix, V, using a Taylor series expansion of the Normal distribution function is discussed in David and Johnson (1954).
However, convergence is slow for extreme variances and covariances. The present method uses the David–Johnson approximation to provide an initial approximation and improves upon it by use of the following identities for the matrix.
For a sample of size n, let mi be the expected value of the ith largest order statistic, then:
(a) for any i=1,2,…,n, ∑j=1nVij=1
(b) V12=V11+mn2-mnmn-1-1
(c) the trace of V is trV=n-∑i=1nmi2
(d) Vij=Vji=Vrs=Vsr where r=n+1-i, s=n+1-j and i,j=1,2,…,n. Note that only the upper triangle of the matrix is calculated and returned column-wise in vector form.

Further Comments

The time taken by g01dc is approximately proportional to n2.
The arguments exp1 (=mn), exp2 (=mn-1) and sumssq (=∑j=1nmj2) may be found from the expected values of the Normal order statistics obtained from g01da (exact) or g01db (approximate).
