小蝌蚪找妈妈、钟形曲线与核密度估计

谢益辉 / 2009-01-07


一眨眼又到 12 点了,ft。简写一下:Liu M. 发来邮件,写了一个中心极限定理的代码,我一看,不对劲(此处省去 200 字)。不过另一个现象倒是让我颇为吃惊:常数的核密度估计依然是钟形曲线!刚开始我还觉得纳闷,后来转念一想,哦,也对。

不信客官您试试 plot(density(rep(0, 1000))) 看密度估计图形是啥样的。英文版参见这里:When “Bell-shaped” is Far Far Away from Gaussian

本例要说明的是小学里的道理,不能学小蝌蚪找妈妈,逮着钟形曲线就说正态。

对搞统计的人来说,务必谨慎对待那些经过处理的数据,若有可能,尽量画出原始数据,而不要仅仅给出综合信息。
