A multivariate two-sample mean test for small sample size and missing data.
We develop a new statistic for testing the equality of two multivariate mean vectors. A scaled chi-squared distribution is proposed as an approximating null distribution. Because the test statistic is based on componentwise statistics, it has the advantage over Hotelling's T2 test of being applicable to the case where the dimension of an observation exceeds the number of observations. An appeal...
متن کاملFinite-sample inference with monotone incomplete multivariate normal data, II
We continue our recent work on finite-sample, i.e., non-asymptotic, inference with two-step, monotone incomplete data from Nd(μ,Σ), a multivariate normal population with mean μ and covariance matrix Σ. Under the assumption that Σ is block-diagonal when partitioned according to the two-step pattern, we derive the distributions of the diagonal blocks of b Σ and of the estimated regression matrix,...
متن کاملFinite-sample inference with monotone incomplete multivariate normal data, I
We consider problems in finite-sample inference with two-step, monotone incomplete data drawn from Nd(μ,Σ), a multivariate normal population with mean μ and covariance matrix Σ. We derive a stochastic representation for the exact distribution of b μ, the maximum likelihood estimator of μ. We obtain ellipsoidal confidence regions for μ through T , a generalization of Hotelling’s statistic. We de...
متن کاملTests of homoscedasticity, normality, and missing completely at random for incomplete multivariate data.
Test of homogeneity of covariances (or homoscedasticity) among several groups has many applications in statistical analysis. In the context of incomplete data analysis, tests of homoscedasticity among groups of cases with identical missing data patterns have been proposed to test whether data are missing completely at random (MCAR). These tests of MCAR require large sample sizes n and/or large ...
متن کاملOn Using Asymptotic Critical Values in Testing for Multivariate Normality
Many multivariate statistical methods call upon the assumption of multivariate normality. However, many researchers fail to test this assumption. This omission could be due either to ignorance of the existence of tests of multivariate normality or confusion about which test to use. Although at least 50 tests of multivariate normality exist, relatively little is known about the power of these pr...
