摘要
Let G be a distribution function on R(k + 1) such that the (k + 1)th marginal is lattice. Let Z(n)BAR denote the sample mean of n independent observations from G. For s greater-than-or-equal-to 3, the s-term Edgeworth expansions are obtained for a wide class of statistics which are smooth functions of Z(n)BAR. The result is then applied to a statistic similar to the Student's t-statistic, where the scaling factor, the sample standard deviation is replaced by the more robust mean absolute deviation.
