Abstract

The multivaiate empirical distribution function (MEDF) is defined in this work. The MEDF's expectation and variance are derived and we have shown the MEDF converges to its real distribution function. Based on random samples from bivariate standard normal distribution with various correlation coefficients, we also obtain MEDFs and propose two kinds of graphical methods to visualize MEDFs on two dimensional plane. One is represented with at most n stairs with similar arguments as the step function, and the other is described with at most n curves which look like bivariate quantile vector. Even though these two descriptive methods could be expressed with three dimensional space, two dimensional representation is obtained with ease and it is enough to explain characteristics of bivariate distribution functions. Hence, it is possible to visualize trivariate empirical distribution functions with three dimensional quantile vectors. With bivariate and four variate illustrative examples, the proposed MEDFs descriptive plots are obtained and explored.

일변량 이상의 다변량 경험분포함수의 정의를 새롭게 제안하고, 경험분포함수의 기대값과 분산을 유도하면서 다변량 경험분포함수가 실제의 분포함수로 수렴함을 확인한다. 그리고 다양한 상관계수의 이변량 표준정규분포에서 추출한 확률표본을 바탕으로 이변량 경험분포함수를 구하고 이를 이차원 평면에 시각적으로 표현하는 두 종류의 그래픽적인 방법을 제안한다. 하나는 계단으로 표현하여 계단식 함수와 유사한 성격을 갖고 있는 방법이고, 다른 하나는 이변량 분위벡터로 설명되는 그림 방법이다. 두 종류의 시각적인 표현 방법은 삼차원으로 표현할 수 있으나 이차원 평면으로도 쉽게 구현이 가능하며, 일반적으로 이변량 누적분포함수의 모든 특징을 충분히 설명할 수 있다. 따라서 삼변량 경험분포함수를 시각적 표현이 가능함을 보인다. 이변량과 사변량의 실증 예제를 통하여 본 연구에서 제안한 다변량 경험분포함수와 이차원 평면에 표현하는 시각적인 표현 방법들을 구현하고 탐색한다.
