Q:
Large-n limit of the distribution of the normalized sum of Cauchy random variables
What is the large-n limit of a distribution of the following sample statistic:$$x\equiv\displaystyle\frac{\sum^{n}X_{i}}{\,\sqrt{\,\sum^{n}X_{i}^{2}\,}\,}$$ when sampling the Cauchy(0,1) distribution? Monte Carlo simulation indicates that convergence to this limit is quite fast, and that the resulting (symmetric) PDF has very sharp cusps at -1 and +1, but of course does not yield an analytic expression for this PDF - would anyone be able to find it?
Here is how the positive half of the PDF looks like:
A:
This desired large-$n$ limit of the distribution $P_n(x)$ is calculated in Limit Distributions of Self-normalized Sums (1973). The Cauchy distribution is the case $\alpha=1$ on page 798. The singularity in $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}P_n(x)$ at $x=\pm 1$ is logarithmic
$$P_n(x)\rightarrow-\pi^{-2}\log|1-x^2|,$$
see equation (5.12) and figure 4 (reproduced below), while for large $|x|$ the decay is Gaussian.

Gee, Bob, for someone who hasn't "the slightest desire to have discourse with you" you sure do keep desperately trying to do so. Post or don't post. It's of no concern to me either way. I simply correct the nonsense posted by whatever antifluoridationists are making fools of themselves at any given time, and expose the inanity of their comments. There is never a shortage of them.

== Buddhist doctrines == There has been too little emphasis on buddhist doctrines. The language is terse and difficult to understand. we need to present the doctrines in a clear and concise manner that even a child can understand. Metaphysical aspects can be dealt with seperately. This is the opening page of Buddhism. lets not loose the practical- social spirit of buddhism and indulge in other worldly persuits and metaphysical concepts. I intend to simply the meaning of each and every term given in the doctrines. and add a few more doctrines like the law of kamma.

Wait is this a comedy piece am I being punked? Mr Babcock it is very clear what you are doing in this piece, let me tell you from an outsiders point of view what actually happened, you made your self look silly, at best. Here is what the "Republicans Govenor did while living in my house in Juneau, he oversaw the largest reversal of state fortunes in HISTORY! You keep trying to blame state workers for the current deficit, by the way if you look at the numbers many of those horrible state workers are members of your party, jokes on them i guess. No where in this drivel do you mention what really got us here, from what did you call them "independant and conservative legislature" or what the rest of us call the Conoco employee's. The massive tax credits or welfare we give away, the what can only be decribed as moronic maybe criminal project like LIO, KABATA, Road to Juneau that is not really a road to Juneau, Susitna Dam, the junkets to Europe, the Road to Ambler.

It's called news. The police can't stop journalists from doing their job, that's against the law and a violation of the freaking constitution! How could reporting the story be tainting the trial? There are plenary of people out there in the valley that don't pay attention to the news or anything that could be jurors if that's what your worried about.

There is no war against white males. 100 percent of our Prime Ministers have been white males (ignore Kim Campbell's 3 month reign). White males form 30 percent of the Canadian population.
Similarly, 85 percent of CEOs are white males (I am throwing a figure - a wild guess). Similarly, 85 percent of janitors are from ethnic minorities, and many of them have Master's Degrees in Engineering.
As for excellence, if you go to an engineering class in Canada, it is dominated by Asians. However, as you go up the ranks of an engineering company, it gets whiter and whiter. Now either those Asians are incompetent (unlikely, because 40 percent of Silicon Valley startups are founded by Asians), or there is a subtle discrimination/ favouritism that takes place as they chose candidates for promotions.
The real answer is some blend of quotas and entrepreneurism.

Nations that rely on oil revenues to pay for government usually are backward, authoritarian leaning corrupt phenomenalities oppossed to reason and equal protection of the law. So many Alaskan sycophants of big oil seek to be the most flattering minions of those globalists. They have no interest in the historical facts that government must be paid for by the people and users if democracy is to exist meaningfully. An income tax is part of the equation of opportunity. It is a kind of user tax inclusive of those that simply visit the state, extract income and leave paying nothing.
The usual practice for a kleptocracy is to plunder whatever it can (oil, Permanent Fund etc.) while it can before leaving the state finance and diversification plans in ruins when the money runs out. Then of course they prefer selling government to the highest bidder.

When the US Army surrendered fixed wing aircraft to form the US Air Force it was with the understanding that the Air Force would fulfill the Army Air Corps mission. The Air Force took off into the wild, blue yonder, flying higher & faster, forgetting about the Close Air Support portion of their mission. In the 60s the Army began to fill that gap with rotary wing platforms using Huey and Cobra gunships. Eventually an airframe was developed for CAS, the A10 Warthog. But the Air Force, in their infinite wisdom, wants to decommission the A10 in favor of their fancy, new strike fighter (more high & fast). How about something low & slow with significant on-station time? Something to support ground troops beyond the range of their field artillery. Dropping JDAMs from 30,000ft doesn't count.

No it's not easy working with Donald Trump.
But Canadian business leaders (especially small businesses) need to grapple with our own 'made in Canada' problem in Justin Trudeau. Higher payroll taxes, carbon tax that will likely manifest multiple times in a supply chain, and an all out assault on small businesses through tax restrictions, hikes and complexity.
It's high time to get rid of Trudeau.

No mass shootings since the 90's, eh?? See link to compilations of mass shootings in OZ. Admittedly, it looks like in large part, the Aussies have turned more to the old dependables, such as arson, stabbings, attacks with vehicles, and drownings.

Not so sure about charging as an adult. Not sure this will convince any of the "old testament types" 'round these parts, but here goes.
From the AMA:
...adolescents rely more heavily on the amygdala—an evolutionarily older area of the brain associated with "primitive impulses of aggression, anger and fear" —than adults do. This proposition seems logical, since the prefrontal cortex, which interacts with and in effect "reins in" the amygdala to temper impulsiveness and gut reaction with reasoning, does not fully develop until the early 20s.

It was actually 5-1 as only one was for the project. The other no vote just wanted different language in the letter. And the other councilor who just resigned to run for mayor would also have voted no. SO - pretty strong no vote is accurate.

Don't tell me to "get over it" like you're my parent.
I am not saying you were part of the those who never got over Obama being president, but Republicans blocked him from the day of his inauguration to his right to have a confirmation hearing - just a hearing - on his nominee to the Supreme Court.
It's called the "loyal opposition". Expect a certain amount of questioning the wisdom of any elected official. Want people to not criticize and question a newly elected leader? Try moving to a totalitarian state. People "get over it" real fine there.

Yes, thank you for doing the research. You failed to mention that CA issues a Drivers License to people who are residing 'illegally' in the state. It's a fact that they do. Don't lump non-citizens who are here 'legally' with those who 'broke the law' to come here. I would not expect that someone who already disregards our immigration laws to turn around and then respect our voting regulations. Especially when you can easily register to vote 'online' I was born at night, but not last night.
Voter fraud is as easy as just checking the boxes and lying on the application. Its the honor system. So, unfortunately, it is easy for ineligible people to vote in CA.

"FPTP has worked well for Canada for 150 years".
No, actually, it hasn't.
It ha led to some starkly undemocratic results.
The Progressives started campaigning to get rid of first-past-the-post before WWI. Its failings have been known for a log, log time. WLMK promised in 1921 to get rid of it. But, being WLMK, he went back on his promise.

If approved, Seattle will be the first in the US to allow drug consumption sites. It is notable that we also will be the first country to have these where there is no national health plan. Seattle does not have treatment on demand available and what public treatment is available is not the holistic wrap-around services we need. There are so many legal and ethical issues to be considered.
Furthermore, the science for Insite is not independent. It is funded by the government and done by the doctors advocating for the sites since the late 1990s. See link below. Insite's studies do not ask how many patients died outside of Insite.
Finally, the AMA has not "endorsed" these sites. It has endorsed conducting a study. Rather than have non-medical individuals with political ideology lead these studies, we should have scientists who are skeptical.

The sniper was 3.5 km from the front line - hardly in the thick of the action! Your last sentence is a bit odd - you seem to say that Trudeau is not arrogant but because of this he lies to Canadians. Very strange. Trudeau was not lying, as Canada is not on a combat mission. If you want somebody who was arrogant and lied to Canadians while looking us square in the face, do some research into the speeches of Stephen Harper - even in one of the leadership debates, he said that both Trudeau and Mulcair would "let in hundreds of thousands of refugees with no screening at all."
Mulcair was just stirring the political pot when he he claimed that this sniper shot proved that Canada was on a combat mission in Iraq - he knew that people like you would fall for it hook, line and sinker.

Review: The PDX Broadsides – “Relatable Content”
This year I have sponsored a lot of Kickstarter creative work, including lots of music. One that I was very excited to support was The PDX Broadsides’ latest album, Relatable Content. They started off as a pirate shanty band and have evolved into a nerd filk band whose songs range from silly to profound. I really enjoyed their last album, Trust Issues, which had some pretty timely songs like Noncompliant (superficially about the Bitch Planet comic, but actually about the Me Too era) and We Want Rey (about representation in nerd toydom). It also had some fun songs (both feature Christian as the lead) like Tiny Little Octopus and Robot vs Boy (which I want to see made into a mini-musical). Their last Kickstarter also had a dirty album called Lust Issues that continued their trend of Shakespeare music with the great Dirtbag Romeo and their dirtier songs from their pirate shanty days with It’s Just Sex.
They’re going to once again release a commentary album that will explain all their songs (that was a really awesome part of the last KS), but since it’s not out yet, I’m just going to talk about what I get out of each of their songs and what I think they mean.
1. Let The Wild Rumpus Start – this song references Where the Wild Things Are and, together with the next track have a late 1800s/early 1900s sound to them. It’s a fun sound for the band to explore and I’d like to maybe see a concept album go in that direction.
2. Together Breakfast – I’m not sure what this song is referencing, but overall it kind of just makes me think of having breakfast with a best friend or significant other and the fact that it’s usually comfort food that can make things feel great.
3. Jerkbrain – this one is pretty self-explanatory (and also they explained it during a Kickstarter update). It’s about when your brain betrays you like saying the wrong thing or acting the wrong way for a situation.
4. Buffalo – Another Christian silly song. It’s also my kids’ favorite song on this album. It involves the narrator attempting to ride various wild animals and having things go awry. It’s pretty silly, but it’s really fun to listen to.
5. Love Good – I’m not sure what, if anything this is referencing, or at least I wasn’t until I googled “Nargles”. I figured this would lead me to the reference and it did. It’s a Harry Potter reference (I’m sure all the younger book readers got that right away, but I came to it in college and so while I appreciate the books, they don’t mean as much to me as the younger crowd). Essentially, it seems to be an ode to being neuro-atypical using Luna Lovegood as a metaphor.
6. Orpheus – I had to look up Orpheus because I’m not really well-read on the greek stories beyond the main characters – Zeus, Hercules, etc. From what I can hear of the lyrics, I think it’s about media, social media, etc consuming all of our attention so that we can’t engage in critical thinking. The singing is powerful and I enjoy the music as well.
7. Rewind – I love this song both lyrically and sonically. Basically it’s about moments you wish you could rewind. That happens to me all too often if I’m trying to be clever or speak without thinking things through.
8. Lost at Sea – A slow song that really showcases singing range. I’m not 100% what the metaphor is, but it’s almost definitely about a relationship ending.
9. The Alligators – Uses alligators as metaphors for all the haters out there. Very enjoyable.
10. House of the Wind – Based on the Kingkiller Chronicles – I only know this because of a Kickstarter update. I think they mentioned it’s about the feelings of performing on stage.
11. Heartless – About the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. It posits that she used to be much nicer before, but some crisis has left her heartless and that’s why she acts the way we see her in the stories.
12. Serotonin Dopamine – A song about those chemicals that control our emotions and how much they affect us. I really like Christian’s cadence in the song and the backup vocals work really well where they appear.
13. Winter is Coming – A really fun song from the point of view of Arya from The Game of Thrones. It was their first single from the album and probably my second favorite song.
Overall this is a great album that has the group continue to evolve musically and lyrically and I heartily recommend it. The best part is that you can listen to it for free on their bandcamp page or listen via Spotify or one of the other music sites before deciding to buy. (And buying does support them more than streaming fees)

I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to Barack Hussein Obama for leading that tired, old sway-backed (D)onkey out to pasture for the last time. The Donkey will not be missed, after being replaced with a bigger, brighter and brawnier Elephant to get the work done. Buh Bye (D)onkey. Say Hi to Shrek for us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gROO7xSTxfY
I, along with Bernie Sanders, would also like to thank Vladimir Putin, very bigly by the way, for exposing the graft and corruption so prevalent in the Democratic Party and in the crooked Hillary Clinton campaign. America would not have survived the first year under that demonic woman. Thank You Vlad, Thank You Russia, for saving America from the (D)Jackasses.
Finally, I would like to thank CNN, et al, for their ginormous stupidity of trying to take down the man who has mastered the art of the deal....the man who will now (I hope) ban the CNN idiots from the WH press room.

Amazon Dash buttons judged to breach consumer rules in Germany
Amazon’s Dash buttons have been found to breach consumer e-commerce rules in Germany.
The push-to-order gizmos were debuted by Amazon in 2015 in an attempt by the e-commerce giant to shave friction off of the online shopping process by encouraging consumers to fill their homes with stick-on, account-linked buttons that trigger product-specific staple purchases when pressed — from washing powder to toilet roll to cat food.
Germany was among the first international markets where Amazon launched Dash, in 2016, along with the U.K. and Austria. But yesterday a higher state court in Munich ruled the system does not provide consumers with sufficient information about a purchase.
The judgement follows a legal challenge by a regional consumer watchdog, Verbraucherzentrale NRW, which objects to the terms Amazon operates with Dash.
It complains that Amazon’s terms allow the company to substitute a product of a higher price or even a different product in place of what the consumer originally selected for a Dash push purchase.
It argues consumers are also not provided with enough information on the purchase triggered when the button is pressed — which might be months after an original selection was made.
Dash buttons should carry a label stating that a paid purchase is triggered by a press, it believes.
The Munich court has now sided with the group’s view that Amazon does not provide sufficient information to Dash consumers, per Reuters.
In a press release following the ruling, Verbraucherzentrale NRW said the judges agreed Amazon should inform consumers about price and product before taking the order, rather than after the purchase as is currently the case.
It also expressed confidence the judgement leaves no room for Amazon to appeal — though the company has said it intends to do so.
Commenting on the ruling in a statement, Verbraucherzentrale NRW consumer bureau chief, Wolfgang Schuldzinski, said: “We are always open to innovation. But if innovation is to put consumers at a disadvantage and to make price comparisons more difficult, then we use all means against them, as in this case.”
Amazon did not reply to questions about how it intends to respond to the court ruling in the short term, such as whether it will withdraw the devices or change how Dash works in Germany.
Instead it emailed us the following statement, attributed to a spokesperson: “The decision is not only against innovation, it also prevents customers from making an informed choice for themselves about whether a service like Dash Button is a convenient way for them to shop. We are convinced the Dash Button and the corresponding app are in line with German legislation. Therefore, we’re going to appeal.”

Old Soul referred to Don Richey, who wrote the letter. He didn't refer to GBA.
OH! Now I get it! You're claiming to be Don Richey. As usual, I don't believe a word you say. Like your denial that you bet me a thousand dollars that you would pay off on a hundred dollar bet with Gary Crum if Trump lost. You were angling for a sucker, and I'm not a sucker.

So as a former Police Officer who spent time behind bars. You advocate that any other police officers who find themselves incarcerated, be housed on a normal range amongst the other inmates? You know, the very guys you arrested and who hate the police. Because I don't believe it should be a Correctional Officers new responsibility to save a Police Officers life because they want to do away with Solitary Confinement.

Our mothers and grandmothers wore scarves and other head coverings because it was one part of strong society customs. A woman who didn't was considered 'loose.' Not altogether different from the situation in certain middle eastern countries today.
In North America today, it's not unknown for women wearing islamic headcoverings to be attacked in public.
How about we all let them wear what they want?

Interesting how police say "taken Sean Simeonoff into police custody for questioning".
Police can not "take someone in" for questioning, nor does anyone ever have to answer police questions. Police can detain someone for a limited time if "reasonable suspicion" of criminal activity exists. Police can arrest someone if "probable cause" of criminal activity exists. Someone could also go voluntarily, but then he would not be "taken in".
Of course, a judge can issue a subpoena and require testimony in court (not police questioning), however one never has to testify on his own potential criminal activity.
Under an circumstance where police are questioning someone who might in any way have any involvement in criminal activity in any way, he should have an attorney present when answering questions.

Out of fairness to chatwood, I don't see how Bettis is going to be materially better. last year (Bettis' break out year) he was 4.79 ERA, 101 ERA+ and 1.414 WHIP vs Chatwood ytd: 4.78, 105 & 1.463. So it looks like we are replacing chatwood with the same guy....the only real difference is Bettis pitches to contact and gives up more hits and chatwood pitches to the screen...

` #It would be really overdoing things to include convolutions with more input functions in the sandbox article, but I plan a gallery-like page in the info still to be uploaded to gnu.org. #Development of the convolution theme includes other mathematical concepts. Far from being a ``one-trick pony`` you ought to know that the mathematics of the delta function, alone, lends itself to further visualization of subject matter routinely taught in dsp and related courses. Besides the ability to code, Development only needs imagination. #As the article indicates, I too made the mistake that Fortran was a dinosaur. Fortran is under active development, surpassing the performance of C in certain areas. I also code in C, Lisp, Scheme, and will be writing some code for C-Graph in Python - but modern Fortran remains a good choice for the core code. #There are websites that offer the demonstration of convolution, but none that encompass verification of the convolution theorem with ease, or that offer the range of features GNU C-Graph does. The download statistics verify C-Graph's growing popularity. #The meritless claim of ``online promotion and documentation (marketing?)`` has been recited elsewhere and is transparent in its intent. #Yes, you did miss the point. I won't comment on the other ``significant`` additional resources and external links listed in the articles on Convolution and Convolution Theorem, except that they hardly present ``new science``, which is not a requirement for a reference. #No, it's not possible to deflate my ego. I'm accustomed to these types of responses - and use them as building blocks. Enough said. The reason more information on C-Graph is not already at GNU is because I find myself having to spend too much time dealing ``blocks`` in various forms. Wikipedians visiting this talk page have the text for the references should they choose to use them. Happy editing! Avoiding more convoluted conversation.:) - `

everyone knows that if you want to improve your economy increase prepare for war.
Military spending does nothing for the economy. The gains are short term and in the end most of what you build gets turned into the worlds most expensive razor blades. The answer to the fact that the Chinese have the worlds fastest supercomputer is not building more types of sniper rifles(the Americans have over 40 types) it's funding basic research etc.

I couldn't express that better. It's sad that there are still people who think that the Rs are not responsible for the deliberate sabotage of the ACA now. The Dems may have passed it without R support, but ever since then, the Rs have done everything within their power to guarantee it wouldn't work. Shame on them, and their hand prints are all over it.

One thing the Alt-Left extremists are forgetting, it is the duty of the FBI, CIA and NSA to lie to the American people over matters of national security, except Trump as President has immunity to speak freely.
Trump has never lied to the American people and the truth is coming out who the liars and creators of the fake news are.

Trump will win Alaska. Why? Charles identified it. We're the rape/harassment capital of the nation. Hence we're the rapist/harasser capital of the nation. And that's one of the constituencies drawn to Trump's message (and actions).
Trump's not the problem. The people who vote for Trump are the problem.
