A New Approximation for the Null Distribution of the Likelihood Ratio Test Statistics for k Outliers in a Normal Sample
Usually when performing a statistical test or estimation procedure, we assume the data are all observations of i.i.d. random variables, often from a normal distribution. Sometimes, however, we notice in a sample one or more observations that stand out from the crowd. These observation(s) are commonly called outlier(s). Outlier tests are more formal procedures which have been developed for detec...
متن کاملTesting for Unit Root Against Stationarity Using the Likelihood Ratio Test
In a first order autoregressive model with drift, we derive the likelihood ratio test for a unit root against the stationary alternative. We also derive the test in a state space model with trend. Finite sample and asymptotic critical values are obtained by Monte Carlo simulations. A simulation study investigates the power performance of the likelihood ratio test and we also examine how a bias ...
متن کاملA Likelihood-Ratio Test of Monophyly
?Many phylogenetic analyses are inspired by or depend upon the monophyly of a group specified a priori. Also, many evolutionary problems for which phylogenies are useful do not require every detail of the phylogeny to be estimated correctly but depend upon the monophyly (or lack thereof) of a particular group. We propose a likelihood-ratio test that compares whether the best trees estimated wit...
متن کاملGeneralized Likelihood Ratio Test for Selecting
A generalized likelihood ratio test is considered for testing acoustic propagation models in the context of environmental parameter inversion. In the following, we use the term \hierarchy of models" to denote a sequence of model structures M1;M2;... in which each particular model structure Mn contains all previous ones as special cases. We propose a combined parameter estimation and multiple se...
متن کاملModified Likelihood Ratio Test for Regime Switching
This paper proposes a modified quasi-likelihood test of Markov regime switching models. Despite its popularity in economics and finance, there are few papers that develop tests for regime switching models. Recently, Cho and White (2007) derive the asymptotic distribution of the quasi-likelihood ratio (QLR) statistic of Markov regime switching models with a scalar parameter. The asymptotic distr...
