Dual divergence estimators and tests: Robustness results
The class of dual φ-divergence estimators (introduced in Broniatowski and Keziou (2009) [6]) is explored with respect to robustness through the influence function approach. For scale and location models, this class is investigated in terms of robustness and asymptotic relative efficiency. Some hypothesis tests based on dual divergence criterions are proposed and their robustness properties are ...
متن کاملConsistency and robustness of tests and estimators based on depth
In this article it is shown that data depth does not only provide consistent and robust estimators but also consistent and robust tests. Thereby, consistency of a test means that the Type I (α) error and the Type II (β) error converge to zero with growing sample size in the interior of the nullhypothesis and the alternative, respectively. Robustness is measured by the breakdown point which depe...
متن کاملGoodness-of-fit Tests and Minimum Power Divergence Estimators for Survival Data
Power-divergence statistics are proposed for grouped survival data. They are analogous to the power-divergence family of statistics proposed and studied in detail by Read and Cressie (1988) and Cressie and Read (1984) for contingency tables. The proposed statistics are useful for testing validity of parametric model assumptions in analyses of survival data. It is shown that these statistics hav...
متن کاملRobust Tests Based on Minimum Density Power Divergence Estimators and Saddlepoint Approximations
The nonrobustness of classical tests for parametric models is a well known problem and various robust alternatives have been proposed in literature. Usually, the robust tests are based on first order asymptotic theory and their accuracy in small samples is often an open question. In this paper we propose tests which have both robustness properties, as well as good accuracy in small samples. The...
متن کاملRobustness properties of dispersion estimators
In this paper, we derive the in uence function of dispersion estimators, based on a scale approach. The relation between the gross-error sensitivity of dispersion estimators and the one of the underlying scale estimator is described. We show that for the bivariate Gaussian distributions, the asymptotic variance of covariance estimators is minimal in the independent case, and is strictly increas...
