    R Functions

    In this appendix, we were introduced to several R functions that will be useful. These are listed here.

    Packages

    Statistics

    • runs.test(r, order=x)
      The runs test tests if the residuals r, as ordered by x, are sufficiently distributed around the zero line to suggest that they are independent. This is the version in the KnoxStats package.

    Exercises

    1. Prove the Mean Deviance Lemma.
    2. Prove Lemma 22.2.5.
    3. Prove Lemma 22.2.6.
    4. Prove Lemma 22.2.7.
    5. Prove Lemma 22.2.8.
    6. Prove Lemma 22.2.9.
    7. Prove Lemma 22.2.10.
    8. Prove Lemma 22.2.11. Note that this proof usually requires the Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality.
    9. Prove that the Cauchy distribution is equivalent to the Student's \(t\) distribution with 1 degree of freedom.
    10. Prove that the Normal distribution is equivalent to the Student's \(t\) distribution as \(\nu \to \infty\).
    11. Prove that the interquartile range of the standard Cauchy is 2.
    12. Prove \(E[S^2] = \sigma^2\) when \(Y \sim N(\mu, \sigma^2)\).
    13. Prove that the first central moment is always \(0\), as long as \(E[X]\) exists.
    14. Prove that the third central moment (skew) for the Normal distribution is zero.
    15. Use moment generating functions to determine when the Binomial distribution has zero skew.
    16. Calculate the moment generating function for the Poisson distribution. Check that it generates the first two moments. Use it to determine the variance of a Poisson random variable.
    17. Prove Theorem: MGF of a Normal.
    18. Use the moment generating function of the Bernoulli distribution to determine the moment generating function of the degenerate distribution.
    19. Use moment generating functions to calculate the variance of a degenerate distribution.
