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.
