Exact Nonparametric Two- Sample Homogeneity Tests for Possibly Discrete Distributions
In this paper, we study several tests for the equality of two unknown distributions. Two are based on empirical distribution functions, three others on nonparametric probability density estimates, and the last ones on differences between sample moments. We suggest controlling the size of such tests (under nonparametric assumptions) by using permutational versions of the tests jointly with the m...
متن کاملLikelihood ratio tests in two gamma populations for equality of shape parameters Likelihood ratio tests in two gamma populations for equality of shape parameters
The introduction of shape parameters into the statistical literature opened new areas of research and allowed statisticians to use models that produced better fits to experimental data. The Weibull and gamma families are prime examples wherein shape parameters produce more reliable statistical models than standard exponential models in lifetime studies. In the presence of many gamma-populations...
متن کاملTests for covariance matrices in high dimension with less sample size
In this article, we propose tests for covariance matrices of high dimension with fewer observations than the dimension for a general class of distributions with positive definite covariance matrices. In one-sample case, tests are proposed for sphericity and for testing the hypothesis that the covariance matrix Σ is an identity matrix, by providing an unbiased estimator of tr [Σ] under the gener...
متن کاملA Note on Leveneis Tests for Equality of Variances
t • • ABSTRACT Consider testing for equality of variances in a one-way analysis of variance. Levene's test is the usual F-test for equality of means computed on pseudo-observations, which one defines as the absolute deviations of the data points from an estimate of the group "center". We show that, asymptotically, Levene1s test has the correct level whenever the estimate of group "center" is an...
متن کاملTwo Sample Tests for High - Dimensional Covariance Matrices
We propose two tests for the equality of covariance matrices between two high-dimensional populations. One test is on the whole variance–covariance matrices, and the other is on off-diagonal sub-matrices, which define the covariance between two nonoverlapping segments of the high-dimensional random vectors. The tests are applicable (i) when the data dimension is much larger than the sample size...
