The figures above show an example of a positively correlated ratio with formula_119 in which the shaded wedges represent the increment of area selected by given ratio formula_120 which accumulates probability where they overlap the distribution. The theoretical distribution, derived from the equations under discussion combined with Hinkley's equations, is highly consistent with a simulation result using 5,000 samples. In the top figure it is easily understood that for a ratio formula_121 the wedge almost bypasses the distribution mass altogether and this coincides with a near-zero region in the theoretical pdf. Conversely as formula_122 reduces toward zero the line collects a higher probability.
