Hodges-Lehmann scale estimator for Cauchy distribution
We draw here on the relation between the Cauchy and hyperbolic secant distributions to prove that the MLE of the scale parameter of Cauchy distribution is log-normally distributed and to study the properties of a Hodges-Lehmann type estimator for the scale parameter. This scale estimator is slightly biased but performs well even on small samples regardless of the location parameter. The asympto...
متن کاملOn Hodges-Lehmann optimality of LR tests
It is shown that the likelihood ratio test statistics are Hodges-Lehmann optimal for testing the null hypothesis against the whole parameter space, provided that certain regularity conditions are fulfilled. These conditions are verified for the non-singular normal, multinomial and Poisson distribution. Let {F 7 ; 7 € S } be a family of probability measures, defined on (X, T) by means of the den...
متن کاملChernoff-Savage and Hodges-Lehmann results for Wilks' test
Abstract: We extend to rank-based tests of multivariate independence the Chernoff-Savage and Hodges-Lehmann classical univariate results. More precisely, we show that the Taskinen, Kankainen and Oja (2004) normal-score rank test for multivariate independence uniformly dominates – in the Pitman sense – the classical Wilks (1935) test, which establishes the Pitman non-admissibility of the latter,...
متن کاملRobust Sign-Based and Hodges-Lehmann Estimators in Linear Median Regressions with Heterogenous Serially Dependent Errors
We propose estimators for the parameters of a linear median regression without any assumption on the shape of the error distribution – including no condition on the existence of moments – allowing for heterogeneity (or heteroskedasticity) of unknown form, noncontinuous distributions, and very general serial dependence (linear or nonlinear) including GARCH-type and stochastic volatility of unkno...
متن کاملPsychometric properties of the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale.
The purpose of the study was to assess the psychometrics properties of the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS), a 23-item instrument that measures patients' perception of readiness for discharge. Data were obtained from 356 respondents from two urban tertiary medical centers (adult and children's) in the midwestern United States who were participants in a larger study of predictors an...
