Abstract

Let $X_i,...,X_n$ be a random sample from a distribution with cumulants $K_1, K_2,...$. The statistic $t = \frac{\sqrt{x}(\bar{X}-K_1)}{S}$ has the well-known 'student' distribution with $\nu = n-1$ degrees of freedom if the $X_i$ are normally distributed (i.e., $K_i = 0$ for $i \geq 3$). An Edgeworth series expansion for the distribution of t when the $X_i$ are not normally distributed is obtained. The form of this expansion is Prob $(t
