Journal of Statistical Research, 46(1), p.31.0256 - 422 Xhttp://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/809ON HOW TO FIND THE NORMING CONSTANTS FOR THE MAXIMA OF A FOLDED NORMALLY DISTRIBUTED VARIABLEA general procedure when one is looking for a limiting distribution of Xn = max(X1, . . . , Xn) is to first center Xn by subtracting cn and then scale by dn,[6]. This article is focused on finding the norming constants cn and dn for the maxima of the folded normal random variable Xn, where X = |Z|, Z ∼ N(0, 1). We also show that after appropriate normalisation, Xn has a limiting distribution H(x) = exp(− exp(x)), which is the gumbel distribution.ennormalising, constants, convergence, Gumbel, limiting, folded normaArticle
