Application domains for the Delta method [PDF]

open access: yesStatistics, 2013
The Delta method uses truncated Lagrange expansions of statistics to obtain approximations to their distributions. In this paper, we consider statistics Y=g(μ+X), where X is any random vector. We obtain domains 𝒟 such that, when μ∈𝒟, we may apply the distribution derived from the Delta method.

Delta function expansions, complex delta functions and the steepest descent method

American Journal of Physics, 1993
Expansion of concentrated functions in terms of a delta function series is discussed with examples. The delta function is extended into the complex plane in the limit of the analytic Gaussian function. It is demonstrated that problems normally handled with the steepest descent method can be simply expressed as an integration of the delta function in ...

A smoothing technique for discrete delta functions with application to immersed boundary method in moving boundary simulations [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Computational Physics, 2009
The effects of complex boundary conditions on flows are represented by a volume force in the immersed boundary methods. The problem with this representation is that the volume force exhibits non-physical oscillations in moving boundary simulations.

The Delta-Method

1996
After giving the general principle of the delta-method, we consider the special case of Gaussian limits and the “conditional” delta-method, which applies to the bootstrap. The chapter closes with a large number of examples.

Delta Method and Moment Convergence

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2010
Statistics, either univariate or multivariate, are usually given by well‐behaved functions. This fact is used to obtain limit distributions for multivariate statistics whose components are given by asymptotically linear functions (see [1]). These results are then extended to the moments of distributions.

A Note on the Delta Method

The American Statistician, 1992
Abstract The delta method is an intuitive technique for approximating the moments of functions of random variables. This note reviews the delta method and conditions under which delta-method approximate moments are accurate.

The Delta Method

1980
This chapter is highly technical and is included to show that the approximations for moments of errors in data (chapter 3) and in allocations (chapters 4 and 5) can be developed rigorously. The reader is encouraged to skip this chapter for now and return to it if motivated by a desire to verify approximations developed in Later chapters.
