The saddlepoint approximation method, initially proposed by Daniels (1954) is a specific example of the mathematical saddlepoint technique applied to statistics. It provides a highly accurate approximation formula for any PDF or probability mass function of a distribution, based on the moment generating function. There is also a formula for the CDF of the distribution, proposed by Lugannani and Rice (1980). == Definition == If the moment generating function of a distribution is written as and the cumulant generating function as then the saddlepoint approximation to the PDF of a distribution is defined as: : and the saddlepoint approximation to the CDF is defined as: : where is the solution to , and 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saddlepoint approximation method」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
