The block-matrix sphericity test – exact and near-exact distributions for the test statistic
In this work near-exact distributions for the likelihood ratio test (l.r.t.) statistic to test the one sample block-matrix sphericity hypothesis are developed under the assumption of multivariate normality. Using a decomposition of the null hypothesis in two null hypotheses, one for testing the independence of the k groups of variables and the other one for testing the equality of the k block d...
متن کاملNear-exact distributions for the independence and sphericity likelihood ratio test statistics
In this paper we will show how a suitably developed decomposition of the characteristic function of the logarithm of the likelihood ratio test statistic to test independence in a set of variates may be used to obtain extremely wellt near-exact distributions both for this test statistic as well as for the likelihood ratio test statistic for sphericity, based on a decomposition of this latter tes...
متن کاملSkewness and kurtosis as locally best invariant tests of normality
Consider testing normality against a one-parameter family of univariate distributions containing the normal distribution as the boundary, e.g., the family of t-distributions or an infinitely divisible family with finite variance. We prove that under mild regularity conditions, the sample skewness is the locally best invariant (LBI) test of normality against a wide class of asymmetric families a...
متن کاملThe multi-sample block-scalar sphericity test – exact and near-exact distributions for its likelihood ratio test statistic
In this paper the authors show how by adequately decomposing the null hypothesis of the multi-sample block sphericity test it is possible to easily obtain the expression for its likelihood ratio test statistic as well as a different look over the exact distribution of this statistic. This different view will enable the construction of very well-performing near-exact approximations for the distr...
متن کاملexploring motivation and english test preparation strategies of iranian pre-university candidates during and at the end of test preparation period for konkur examination
the current study aimed at investigating the relationship between motivation and test preparation strategies (tpss) used by iranian pre-university students in their preparation period for the university entrance exam (uee). due to the importance of uee in iran, this study also attempted to show its impact on these two important variables. to this end, 100 pre-university students in an iranian p...
