Multiple Improvements of Multiple Imputation Likelihood Ratio Tests

چکیده

Multiple imputation (MI) inference handles missing data by imputing the values $m$ times, and then combining results from complete-data analyses. However, existing method for likelihood ratio tests (LRTs) has multiple defects: (i) combined test statistic can be negative, but its null distribution is approximated an $F$-distribution; (ii) it not invariant to re-parametrization; (iii) fails ensure monotonic power owing use of inconsistent estimator fraction information (FMI) under alternative hypothesis; (iv) requires nontrivial access LRT as a function parameters instead sets. We show, using both theoretical derivations empirical investigations, that essentially all these problems straightforwardly addressed if we are willing perform additional stacking completed sets one big set. This enables users implement MI without modifying procedure. A particularly intriguing finding FMI estimated consistently testing whether regarded effectively samples coming common model. Practical guidelines provided based on extensive comparison tests. Issues related nuisance also discussed.

On likelihood ratio tests

Likelihood ratio tests are intuitively appealing. Nevertheless, a number of examples are known in which they perform very poorly. The present paper discusses a large class of situations in which this is the case, and analyzes just how intuition misleads us; it also presents an alternative approach which in these situations is optimal. 1. The popularity of likelihood ratio tests Faced with a new...

Likelihood Ratio Tests

Many statistical hypotheses can be formulated in terms of polynomial equalities and inequalities in the unknown parameters and thus correspond to semi-algebraic subsets of the parameter space. We consider large sample asymptotics for the likelihood ratio test of such hypotheses in models that satisfy standard probabilistic regularity conditions. We show that the assumptions of Chernoff's theore...

Likelihood Ratio Tests

Previously, we have employed a program (Jtest) to test an hypothesis involving many parameters (multiple constraints). This test, which involves comparing parameter estimates with hypothesized values, is known as a Wald test. We also used the Jtest program to compare two di¤erent estimators in a Hausman test. There is an alternative method for conducting joint tests, which can be implemented ea...
