A Constructive Algebraic Proof of Student's Theorem
Yiping Cheng
Abstrak
Student's theorem is an important result in statistics which states that for normal population, the sample variance is independent from the sample mean and has a chi-square distribution. The existing proofs of this theorem either overly rely on advanced tools such as moment generating functions, or fail to explicitly construct an orthogonal matrix used in the proof. This paper provides an elegant explicit construction of that matrix, making the algebraic proof complete. The constructive algebraic proof proposed here is thus very suitable for being included in textbooks.
