Modified likelihood ratio test for homogeneity in a mixture of von Mises distributions
Directional data are often collected in applications such as in genetics, geology and astrolomy. One particular statistical problem of interest is whether the data are from a mixture of two von Mises distributions or a single von Mises distribution. Motivating examples including a DNA microarray experiment where it is suggested that a proportion of circadian genes have systematically different ...
متن کاملTest for homogeneity in gamma mixture models using likelihood ratio
A testing problem of homogeneity in gamma mixture models is studied. It is found that there is a proportion of the penalized likelihood ratio test statistic that degenerates to zero. The limiting distribution of this statistic is found to be the chi-bar-square distributions. The degeneration is due to the negative-definiteness of a complicated random matrix, depending on the shape parameter und...
متن کاملA Modified Likelihood Ratio Test for Homogeneity in Finite Mixture Models
Testing for homogeneity in finite mixture models has been investigated by many authors. The asymptotic null distribution of the likelihood ratio test (LRT) is very complex and difficult to use in practice. In this paper we propose a modified LRT for homogeneity in finite mixture models with a general parametric kernel distribution family. The modified LRT has a χ2-type null limiting distributio...
متن کاملTesting homogeneity in a mixture of von Mises distributions with a structural parameter
The modified likelihood ratio test has been successfully applied for the homogeneity test in a variety of mixture models. In this paper, the authors propose the use of the modified likelihood ratio test and the iterative modified likelihood ratio test in general two-component von Mises mixture with a structural parameter. Two accuracy enhancing methods are developed. The limiting distributions ...
