On inadmissibility of Hotelling T2-tests for restricted alternatives

On the Inadmissibility of Step-down Procedures for the Hotelling

Step-down testing procedures for the Hotelling T2 problem are considered. We show that the step-down procedure proposed by S.N. Roy, R.E. Bargmann, and J. Roy is inadmissibleamonginvariantprocedures (for a suitable invariance group) in many situatiqns, includiItgallthosefor which more than two steps are contemplated. We also show that in most cases, the power of the step-down procedure decrease...

Restricted Alternatives Tests in Competing Risk Analyses

CICILIA YUKO WADA. Restricted Alternatives Tests in Competing Risk Analyses. (Under the direction of Dr. P.K. SEN) The objective of the present study is to derive a union-intersection test statistic for subhypotheses against restricted alternatives in a competing risk situation with k causes of failure and p concomitant variables. Asymptotic properties of the proposed tests are investigated and...

Asymptotic Distribution of Ui - Lmpr Tests for Restricted Alternatives

For testing against some restricted alternatives, in the light of the most stringency and somewhere most powerful character, the UI-LMPR tests are asymptotically optimal. The asymptotic distribution theory of such UI-LMPR test statistics is developed , and the same is incorporated in the comparative study of the asymptotic powers of the restricted UI-LMPR tests and their unrestricted versions (...
