Abstract

In this article, a heuristic approach is used to determined the best approximate distribution of Y1Y1+Y2\dfrac{Y_1}{Y_1 + Y_2}, given that Y1,Y2Y_1,Y_2 are independent, and each of Y1Y_1 and YY is distributed as the F\mathcal{F}-distribution with common denominator degrees of freedom. The proposed approximate distribution is subject to graphical comparisons and distributional tests. The proposed distribution is used to derive the distribution of the elemental regression weight ωE\omega_E, where EE is the elemental regression set.
