Sample d -copula of order m

José M. González-Barrios, María M. Hernández-Cedillo (2013)

Kybernetika

In this paper we analyze the construction of d -copulas including the ideas of Cuculescu and Theodorescu [5], Fredricks et al. [15], Mikusiński and Taylor [25] and Trutschnig and Fernández-Sánchez [33]. Some of these methods use iterative procedures to construct copulas with fractal supports. The main part of this paper is given in Section 3, where we introduce the sample d -copula of order m with m 2 , the central idea is to use the above methodologies to construct a new copula based on a sample. The...

Some invariant test procedures for detection of structural changes; behavior under alternatives

Marie Hušková (2001)

Kybernetika

Regression- and scale-invariant M -test procedures for detection of structural changes in linear regression model was developed and their limit behavior under the null hypothesis was studied in Hušková [9]. In the present paper the limit behavior under local alternatives is studied. More precisely, it is shown that under local alternatives the considered test statistics have asymptotically normal distribution.

Test for exponentiality against Weibull and gamma decreasing hazard rate alternatives

Simos G. Meintanis (2007)

Kybernetika

A sub-exponential Weibull random variable may be expressed as a quotient of a unit exponential to an independent strictly positive stable random variable. Based on this property, we propose a test for exponentiality which is consistent against Weibull and Gamma distributions with shape parameter less than unity. A comparison with other procedures is also included.

Testing a tolerance hypothesis by means of an information distance

František Rublík (1990)

Aplikace matematiky

In the paper a test of the hypothesis μ + c σ M , μ - c σ m on parameters of the normal distribution is presented, and explicit formulas for critical regions are derived for finite sample sizes. Asymptotic null distribution of the test statistic is investigated under the assumption, that the true distribution possesses the fourth moment.

Testing in locally conic models, and application to mixture models

Didier Dacunha-Castelle, Elisabeth Gassiat (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

In this paper, we address the problem of testing hypotheses using maximum likelihood statistics in non identifiable models. We derive the asymptotic distribution under very general assumptions. The key idea is a local reparameterization, depending on the underlying distribution, which is called locally conic. This method enlights how the general model induces the structure of the limiting distribution in terms of dimensionality of some derivative space. We present various applications of...

Tests de la razón de verosimilitud para medias de poblaciones normales, sujetas a restricciones.

José Antonio Menéndez Fernández (1984)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

This paper shows the statistics that define the likelihood ratio tests about the mean of a k-dimensional normal population, when the hypotheses to test are H0: θ = 0; H0*: θ ∈ τφ; H1: θ ∈ τ; H2: θ ∈ Rk, being τ a closed and poliedric convex cone in Rk, and τφ the minima dimension face in τ.It is proved that the obtained statistics distributions are certain combinations of chi-squared distributions, when θ = 0.At last, it is proved that the power functions of the tests satisfy some desirable properties....

The likelihood ratio test for general mixture models with or without structural parameter

Jean-Marc Azaïs, Élisabeth Gassiat, Cécile Mercadier (2009)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

This paper deals with the likelihood ratio test (LRT) for testing hypotheses on the mixing measure in mixture models with or without structural parameter. The main result gives the asymptotic distribution of the LRT statistics under some conditions that are proved to be almost necessary. A detailed solution is given for two testing problems: the test of a single distribution against any mixture, with application to Gaussian, Poisson and binomial distributions; the test of the number of populations...

The likelihood ratio test for the number of components in a mixture with Markov regime

Elisabeth Gassiat, Christine Keribin (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We study the LRT statistic for testing a single population i.i.d. model against a mixture of two populations with Markov regime. We prove that the LRT statistic converges to infinity in probability as the number of observations tends to infinity. This is a consequence of a convergence result of the LRT statistic for a subproblem where the parameters are restricted to a subset of the whole parameter set.

Validity of the parametric bootstrap for goodness-of-fit testing in semiparametric models

Christian Genest, Bruno Rémillard (2008)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

In testing that a given distribution Pbelongs to a parameterized family 𝒫 , one is often led to compare a nonparametric estimateAn of some functional A of P with an element Aθn corresponding to an estimate θn of θ. In many cases, the asymptotic distribution of goodness-of-fit statistics derived from the process n1/2(An−Aθn) depends on the unknown distribution P. It is shown here that if the sequences An and θn of estimators are regular in some sense, a parametric bootstrap approach yields valid approximations...
