THE GENERALISED PRODUCT MOMENT DISTRIBUTION IN SAMPLES FROM A NORMAL MULTIVARIATE POPULATION.
By JOHN WISHART, M.A., B.Sc. Statistical Department, Rothamsted
Experimental Station. 1. Introduction. For some years prior to 1915, various writers struggled with the problems that arise when samples are taken from uni-variate and bi-variate populations, assumed in most cases for simplicity to be normal. Thus "Student," in 1908 *, by considering the first four moments, was led by K. Pearson's methods to infer the distribution of standard deviations, in samples from a normal population. His results, for comparison with others to be deduced later, will be stated in the form

When bi-variate popuilations were considered, other problems arose, such as the distribution of the correlation coefficient and of the regression coefficient in samples. These problems, taklen by themselves, were found to be difficult, and only approximative results had been reached, when, in 1915, R. A. Fishert gave a formula for the simultaneous distribution of the three quadratic statistical derivatives, namely the two variances (squared standard deviations) and the product coefficient. Thus, let x1, x2, ... $N represent the sample values of the momnent x-variate, and Y1, Y2, ... y the corresponding values for the y-variate, let a1 and c2 be the standard deviations of the sampled population and p the correlation between x and y. We then calculate the following statistical derivatives from the sample: Nac-= Y.($) Ny = Y,(y)

The distribution of the correlation coefficient was deduced by direct integration from this result. Further, K. Pearson and V. Roinanovsky, starting from this fundamental formula, were able to deal with the regression coefficients. Pearson, in 1925 t, gave the mean value and standard deviation of the regression coefficient, while Romanovsky and Pearson", in the following year, published the actual distribution. New problems arise when we are dealing with three or more variates. There are, for example, the distributions of the partial and multiple correlations, and of the partial regression coefficients. In this domain our knowledge is still far from complete. The partial correlation coefficient has been shown to be distributed exactly as a total coefficient, when the size of the sample has been reduced by the number of variates eliminated?. The actual distribution of the multiple correlation coefficient, for the particular case where no real correlation exists in the sampled population, was shown in 192311to be of the form

where n is the total number of variates. A recent experimental investigation by the present writer?Tmay be regarded as confirming this result, as well as was to be expected on the basis of the inadequate numbers used. On the other hand, L. Isserlis**, in 1917, found approximations to the mean value and standard deviation of the multiple correlation coefficient, in the case of three variates, while recently P. Halltt, for an n-fold system, determined (a) the mean value, and (b) the standard deviation, of the nmultiple and partial correlation coefficients, as far as terms of the order of N

34 ThteGeneralisedProduct Moment Distribution in Samples

What is now asserted is that all such problems depend, in the first instance, on the determination of a fundamental frequency distribution, which will be a generalisation of equation (2). It will, in fact, be the simultaneous distribution in samples of the n variances (squared standard deviations) and the n (n1) product

moment coefficients. It is the purpose of the present paper to give this generalised distribution, and to calculate its moments up to the fourth order. The case of three variates will first be considered in detail, and thereafter a proof for the general n-fold systemnwill be given.

In order to transform the element of voluime,we require to extend somewhat the geometrical reasoning employed in the two variate case*. The N values of x may be regarded geometrically as specifying a point P in an N-dimensional space,

The element of volume is then proportional to (VNV8)N-2 ds8dy. For the factor of proportionality we require the entire area of the surface of a sphere in N - 1 dimensions.

This is the fundamental frequency distribution for the three variate case, and in a later section the calculation of its moment coefficients will be dealt with. 3. Multi-variate Distribution. Use of Quadratic co-ordinates. A comparison of equation (8) with the corresponding results (1) and (2) for uni-variate and bi-variate sampling, respectively, indicates the form the general result may be expected to take.

This result can be proved by the aid of the following general geometrical considerations. We shall begin by defining the quadratic co-ordinates of a set of points, and thereafter develop the argument by the use of these co-ordinates.

of (a) If XPI,IX2, I Ipn are the rectangularco-ordinates a point (p) in space of n dimensions, then the conifiguration of a set of n points relative to the origin may be specified by the co-ordinates
GPq =

k=1

(XpkXqk).

These co-ordinates will be unchanged by any rotation of the whole system about the origin, the configuration of the set of (n + 1) points including the origin being unchanged. (b) The determinant Itpq1,p, q = 1, 2, 3, ... n, on expanding the several terms, may be recognised as the square of the determinant Ixpq 1, p, q = 1, 2, 3, ... n, and is therefore equal to the square of the volume enclosed by completing the parallelfaced figure having one corner at the origin and edges running to the n points of the figure. This volume will be represented by vn. the plane space passing (c) The perpendicular distance of the point (n) fromn through the origin and the points (1) to (n-1) is v I

(e) If in a space of N dimensions the points (1) to (n - 1) are fixed, and that of the point (n) is specified by the co-ordinates tm, fna, ... {nn within ranges dtnl X d n2, .... dotnnl then the point (n) is free to move on the surface of a sphere in N-n + 1 dimensions, of which the centre is the foot of the perpendicular from (n) upon the space The radius of this sphere is therefore v)t containing the points (1) to (n-1). and the area of its surface is 2

4. MomentCoefficients the Distribution. of

It is now possible to find the moments, up to any desired order, of the simultaneous distribution given by (9). A number of these moments will be identical with those found previously for the cases of one and two variates, and published by different writers. To illustrate for the case of three variates, let

In most cases there will be a number of similar results deduced from one another merely by a cyclical interchange of the suffixes, but one representative result for each class only will be stated. The following pages list every independent result up to the fourth order, and as far as eight variates. They therefore embody certain results which are already known. " Student" * first gave the one-variate moments up to the fourth order, while Sopert, to his degree of approximation, gave all the twovariate results, to the same order. His second and third order moments agree with 1 1 the following, except for the terms in N, which he makes N and -2, in place of N-i
N2

and

N- I
N3

. The divergence of the fourth order results is wider, for the same

reason. Isserlist later gave the general 2nd order-4 variate, 3rd order-6 variate and 4th order-8 variate moments, sampling from a limited population. For an infinite normal population his results can be expressed in terms of the p's, and, of course, all the moments up to the fourth order can be deduced from his three results by associating the variates in all the possible ways. But his results were calculated about the general population value, and not, as in the following, about the mean of the sample. 5. Derived Coefficients. We are now able to deduce certain other constants of the distribution curves specified by the moments cited. In particular we have for the Betas of a12, i.e. of

the well-known Type III result*. Since a12/32 is always greater than 3, the curve of distribution is leptokurtic. We also have 2,82-3,81 - 6

showing that the curve is of Type IV for small p, but beyond a value of about 45 (according to the size of the sample) it becomes Type VI. Certain correlation coefficients also follow at once from the moments given. It will be remembered that Pearson and Filon in Phil. Trans. Vol. 191 A, 1898, p. 242, gave r,,12= P122 and r,171, p12/V/2 approximately. They also gave approximate expressions for r,1.r23,rr,. r, and rr12.r,4(pp. 256, 259, 262). In our case the correlations we are able to deduce are those between the product moments themselves and are exact, thus
