Rank-based entropy tests for serial independence
In nonparametric tests for serial independence the marginal distribution of the data acts as an infinite dimensional nuisance parameter. The decomposition of joint distributions in terms of a copula density and marginal densities shows that in general empirical marginals carry no information on dependence. It follows that the order of ranks is sufficient for inference, which motivates transform...
متن کاملOptimal signed-rank tests based on hyperplanes
For analysing k-variate data sets, Randles (1989) considered hyperplanes going through k− 1 data points and the origin. He then introduced an empirical angular distance between two k-variate data vectors based on the number of hyperplanes (the so-called interdirections) that separate these two points, and proposed a multivariate sign test based on those interdirections. In this paper, we presen...
متن کاملOptimal Rank - Based Tests for Sphericity
We propose a class of rank-based procedures for testing that the shape matrix V of an elliptical distribution (with unspecified center of symmetry, scale, and radial density) has some fixed value V0; this includes, for V0 = Ik, the problem of testing for sphericity as an important particular case. The proposed tests are invariant under translations, monotone radial transformations, rotations, a...
متن کاملRank score tests.
Nonparametric statistical methods are useful tools for data analysis when there is reason to believe that the outcome variables of interest may fail certain distributional assumptions required for parametric methods. Variables may be ordered categories in nature and thereby not suitable for analysis methods that assume normally distributed variables, such as t tests or analyses of variance and ...
متن کاملGeometry of rank tests
We study partitions of the symmetric group which have desirable geometric properties. The statistical tests defined by such partitions involve counting all permutations in the equivalence classes. These permutations are the linear extensions of partially ordered sets specified by the data. Our methods refine rank tests of non-parametric statistics, such as the sign test and the runs test, and a...
