Asymptotic Distribution of Centralized rr When Sampling from Cauchy

Abstract

Assume that XX and YY are independent random variables, each having a Cauchy distribution with a known median. Taking a random independent sample of size nn of each XX and YY, one can then compute their centralized empirical correlation coefficient rr. Analytically investigating the sampling distribution of this rr appears possible only in the large nn limit; this is what we have done in this article, deriving several new and interesting results.
