Zusammenfassung

Es sei A: Rn→Rn eine Abbildung mit\(||A(\vec x)|| = ||\vec x||\) für jedes\(\vec x \in R^n ;\mathop X\limits^ \to \) sei einn-dimensionaler Zufallsvektor. Wir beschreiben die Klasse aller TransformationenA, für die\(\mathop Y\limits^ \to = A(\mathop X\limits^ \to )\) unabhängige, nachN(0, 1) verteilte Komponenten hat, sofern nur die KomponentenX 1,...,X n des Zufallsvektors\(\mathop X\limits^ \to \) ebenfalls unabhängig und identish Gaußisch verteilt sind mit Erwartungswert Null und Varianz 1. Weiter sind Bedingungen angegeben, die sicherstellen, daß\(\mathop X\limits^ \to \) nachN(O, σ2) verteilte KomponentenX 1,...,X n hat, sofern dieX 1,...,X n unabhängig und\(\mathop X\limits^ \to \) und\(\mathop Y\limits^ \to \) identisch verteilt sind. Zwei vonBeer undLukacs behandelte Transformationen sind Spezialfälle der hier untersuchten Transformationen.

Summary

Let A: Rn→Rn be a transformation with the property\(||A(\vec x)|| = ||\vec x||\) for every\(\vec x \in R^n \). We consider a random vector\(\mathop X\limits^ \to \) and characterize the class of all transformationsA such that\(\mathop Y\limits^ \to = A(\mathop X\limits^ \to )\) has independentN (0, 1) distributed componentsY 1,...,Y n if\(\mathop X\limits^ \to \) has the same distribution. Furthermore in the paper there are given conditions which ensure that\(\mathop X\limits^ \to \) hasN(O, σ2 distributed components if\(\mathop X\limits^ \to \) and\(\mathop Y\limits^ \to \) are identically distributed and the componentsX 1,...,X n are independent, identically distributed random variables. Two of the transformations tried byBeer andLukacs are special cases of our transformations.
