Exactness of the kk-dependent terms in Poisson order-kk median asymptotics

About 3 years old · traced to

Let k>1k>1, κ=k(k+1)/2\kappa=k(k+1)/2, and let αk,n\alpha_{k,n} denote the mean parameter associated with the median analysis, with Ak,nA_{k,n} the remaining nn-dependent asymptotic term. The source gives

αk,n=n+frac⁡(k+48)+k8(2k+1)+Ak,n\alpha_{k,n}=n+\operatorname{frac}\Bigl(\frac{k+4}{8}\Bigr)+\frac{k}{8(2k+1)}+A_{k,n}

and

αk,n−νk(n/κ)=2k+916−116(2k+1)+Ak,n.\alpha_{k,n}-\nu_k(n/\kappa)=\frac{2k+9}{16}-\frac{1}{16(2k+1)}+A_{k,n}.

Exactness conjecture for the median asymptotics. The terms in these two formulas that depend only on kk are exact.

The nn-dependent terms are explicitly described as numerical fits, while the kk-only terms are conjectured to be exact.
