| T(h,a)=\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{0}^{a} \frac{e^{-\frac{1}{2} h^2 (1+x^2)}}{1+x^2} dx \quad \left(-\infty < h, a < +\infty\right).
| |
| </math> | |
| | |
| ==Applications==
| |
| The function ''T''(''h'', ''a'') gives the probability of the event (''X>h'' and 0''<Y<a*X'') where ''X'' and ''Y'' are [[statistically independent|independent]] [[standard normal distribution|standard normal]] [[random variable]]s.
| |
|
| |
| This function can be used to calculate [[bivariate normal distribution]] probabilities<ref>Sowden, R R and Ashford, J R (1969). "Computation of the bivariate normal integral". ''Applied Statististics'', 18, 169–180.</ref><ref>Donelly, T G (1973). "Algorithm 462. Bivariate normal distribution". ''Commun. Ass. Comput.Mach.'', 16, 638.</ref> and, from there, in the calculation of [[multivariate normal distribution]] probabilities.<ref>Schervish, M H (1984). "Multivariate normal probabilities with [[error bound]]". ''Applied Statistics'', 33, 81–94.</ref>
| |
| It also frequently appears in [[List of integrals of Gaussian functions|various integrals involving Gaussian functions]].
| |
| | |
| Computer algorithms for the accurate calculation of this function are available.<ref>Patefield, M. and Tandy, D. (2000) "[http://www.jstatsoft.org/v05/i05/paper Fast and accurate Calculation of Owen’s T-Function]", ''Journal of Statistical Software'', 5 (5), 1–25.

Nothing to tell about myself at all.
Enjoying to be a part of wmflabs.org.
I just wish I'm useful
I'm a 46 years old and work at the college (Architecture, Art, and Planning).
In my free time I try to learn French. I've been there and look forward to go there sometime in the future. I like to read, preferably on my ipad. I like to watch The Big Bang Theory and American Dad as well as docus about nature. I like Roller Derby.
