چکیده
In this article we develop a test statistic for testing the equality of mean vectors for paired doubly multivariate observations for q response variables and u sites in blocked compound symmetric covariance matrix setting. The new test is implemented with two real data sets.

Optimal estimation for doubly multivariate data in blocked compound symmetric covariance structure
The paper deals with the best unbiased estimators of the blocked compound symmetric covariance structure for m−variate observations over u sites under the assumption of multivariate normality. The free-coordinate approach is used to prove that the quadratic estimation of covariance parameters is equivalent to linear estimation with a properly defined inner product in the space of symmetric matr...
متن کاملOn Selecting Tests for Equality of Two Normal Mean Vectors.
The conventional approach for testing the equality of two normal mean vectors is to test first the equality of covariance matrices, and if the equality assumption is tenable, then use the two-sample Hotelling T (2) test. Otherwise one can use one of the approximate tests for the multivariate Behrens-Fisher problem. In this article, we study the properties of the Hotelling T (2) test, the conven...
متن کاملSome results on the symmetric doubly stochastic inverse eigenvalue problem
The symmetric doubly stochastic inverse eigenvalue problem (hereafter SDIEP) is to determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for an $n$-tuple $sigma=(1,lambda_{2},lambda_{3},ldots,lambda_{n})in mathbb{R}^{n}$ with $|lambda_{i}|leq 1,~i=1,2,ldots,n$, to be the spectrum of an $ntimes n$ symmetric doubly stochastic matrix $A$. If there exists an $ntimes n$ symmetric doubly stochastic ...
متن کاملScore test for a separable covariance structure with the first component as compound symmetric correlation matrix Score test for a separable covariance structure with the first component as compound symmetric correlation matrix
Likelihood ratio tests (LRTs) for separability of a covariance structure for doubly multivariate data are widely studied in the literature. There are three types of LRT: biased tests based on an asymptotic chi-square null distribution; unbiased/unmodified tests based on an empirical null distribution; and unbiased/modified tests with a test statistic modified to follow a theoretical chi-square ...
متن کاملTesting the structure of the covariance matrix with fewer observations than the dimension
We consider two hypothesis testing problems with N independent observations on a single m-vector, when m > N , and the N observations on the random m-vector are independently and identically distributed as multivariate normal with mean vector μ and covariance matrix Σ, both unknown. In the first problem, the m-vector is partitioned into two subvectors of dimensions m1 and m2, respectively, and ...
