Hello folks,

 

I am looking for a SPSS sys code for Inverse NonCentral t-Distribution using SPSS functions. Appreciate with many thanks.

 

Regards,

Max.

AFAIK It doesn't exist in the available built in functions.
Looks like you'll need to build an iterative solution with NCDF.T as a check point.
This came up on one of the LinkedIn groups recently.
Please post back whatever you come up with.

I was hoping that by version 22 of SPSS these inverse PDF or CDF functions be included in SPSS functions but alas not yet!

RE: Inverse NonCentral t-Distribution

MaxJasper

Hi Jon,

 

Inverse NonCentral t-Distribution is used to calculate one-sided upper/lower tolerance limits of normal distributions.

 

Inverse NonCentral Chi-Square distribution is used to calculate two-sided tolerance intervals of normal distributions.

 

Please take a look at Mathematica 9 function InverseCDF[any distribution function].

Re: Inverse NonCentral t-Distribution

Jon K Peck
Thanks.  You can get approximate tolerance limits without the inverse noncentral functions.  Do you have an idea of how approximate these are?  NIST says that unless you have very small samples - N <=10, the approximations "should not have much practical effect".

Re: Inverse NonCentral t-Distribution

MaxJasper

Hi Jon,

 

Thanks for your comments. I need inverse values of distribution functions in many med stat fields mostly to be not worried of df or sample size and usually in this field one has limited samples sizes so the most accurate inverse values are needed.

 

I am hoping this deficiency be addressed in SPSS 22 update.

 

Regards,

Max.

Re: Inverse NonCentral t-Distribution

MaxJasper

Hi Jon,

 

I was very much hoping to see SPSS stat functions reach the level of Mathematica functions so that for such functions there would be no need to export SPSS data & leave SPSS. If you remember, SPSS even did not have any of the noncentral distributions until recently! I guess the executives of that era were more enlightened scientifically!

Max.

Max,

Calculating those particular functions is difficult, and there are several different numerical methods that have been suggested that vary in accuracy and in which parts of the distribution are most/least accurate.  We cannot add functionality in a fixpack (with very rare exceptions requiring approval from lots of IBM executives).  The most we might be able to do in the short run would be to wrap the relevant R functions.  They could create a new Statistics dataset containing the specified values.

Re: Inverse NonCentral t-Distribution

This post was updated on .
I just fired up good old reliable (11.5) and NCDF.x and CNPF.x exist for beta, t, F and Chi2
I acquired this early 2003.  


NCDF Noncentral cumulative distribution function.
A noncentral distribution function NCDF.d_spec(q,a,b,...) returns a probability p that a variate with the
specified noncentral distribution falls below q. It is available only for beta,
chi-square, F, and Student’s t.
NPDF Noncentral probability density function. A noncentral probability density
function NCDF.d_spec(q,a,b,...) returns the density of the specified distribu-
tion (d_spec) at q. It is available only for beta, chi-square, F, and Student’s t.

One solution for Max might be to see if R or Python support the Inv NCDF.T?
Another is to explore whether one can call into Mathematica either via Com or Python bindings?

Max,

Calculating those particular functions is difficult, and there are several
different numerical methods that have been suggested that vary in accuracy
and in which parts of the distribution are most/least accurate.  We cannot
add functionality in a fixpack (with very rare exceptions requiring
approval from lots of IBM executives).  The most we might be able to do in
the short run would be to wrap the relevant R functions.  They could
create a new Statistics dataset containing the specified values.

Hi Jon,

Thanks for your comments. I need inverse values of distribution functions
in many med stat fields mostly to be not worried of df or sample size and
usually in this field one has limited samples sizes so the most accurate
inverse values are needed.

I am hoping this deficiency be addressed in SPSS 22 update.

Regards,
Max.

Thanks.  You can get approximate tolerance limits without the inverse
noncentral functions.  Do you have an idea of how approximate these are?
NIST says that unless you have very small samples - N <=10, the
approximations "should not have much practical effect".

Hi Jon,

Inverse NonCentral t-Distribution is used to calculate one-sided
upper/lower tolerance limits of normal distributions.

Inverse NonCentral Chi-Square distribution is used to calculate two-sided
tolerance intervals of normal distributions.

Please take a look at Mathematica 9 function InverseCDF[any distribution
function].

I was hoping that by version 22 of SPSS these inverse PDF or CDF functions
be included in SPSS functions but alas not yet!

AFAIK It doesn't exist in the available built in functions.
Looks like you'll need to build an iterative solution with NCDF.T as a
check point.
This came up on one of the LinkedIn groups recently.
Please post back whatever you come up with.

I believe the R functions are qt and qf.  Both take  optional non-centrality parameters.

I just fired up good old reliable (11.5) and NCDF.x and CNPF.x exist for beta, t, F and Chi2
I acquired this early 2003.  


NCDF Noncentral cumulative distribution function.
A noncentral distribution function NCDF.d_spec(q,a,b,...) returns a probability p that a variate with the
specified noncentral distribution falls below q. It is available only for beta,
chi-square, F, and Student’s t.
NPDF Noncentral probability density function. A noncentral probability density
function NCDF.d_spec(q,a,b,...) returns the density of the specified distribu-
tion (d_spec) at q. It is available only for beta, chi-square, F, and Student’s t.

One solution for Max might be to see if R or Python support the Inv NCT?
Another is to explore whether one can call into Mathematica either via Com or Python bindings?

The noncentral distributions have been in Statistics for many years - more
than ten IIRC.  The issue of adding more functions is not about scientific
enlightenment.

Hi Jon,

I was very much hoping to see SPSS stat functions reach the level of
Mathematica functions so that for such functions there would be no need to
export SPSS data & leave SPSS. If you remember, SPSS even did not have any
of the noncentral distributions until recently! I guess the executives of
that era were more enlightened scientifically!
