Robust Tests Based on Minimum Density Power Divergence Estimators and Saddlepoint Approximations
The nonrobustness of classical tests for parametric models is a well known problem and various robust alternatives have been proposed in literature. Usually, the robust tests are based on first order asymptotic theory and their accuracy in small samples is often an open question. In this paper we propose tests which have both robustness properties, as well as good accuracy in small samples. The...
متن کاملDual divergence estimators and tests: Robustness results
The class of dual φ-divergence estimators (introduced in Broniatowski and Keziou (2009) [6]) is explored with respect to robustness through the influence function approach. For scale and location models, this class is investigated in terms of robustness and asymptotic relative efficiency. Some hypothesis tests based on dual divergence criterions are proposed and their robustness properties are ...
متن کاملOn group sequential tests based on robust location and scale estimators in the two-sample problem
The behaviour of group sequential tests in the two-sample problem is investigated if one replaces the classical non-robust estimators in the t-test statistic by modern robust estimators of location and scale. Hampel's 3-part redescending M-estimator 25A used in the Princeton study and the robust scale estimators length of the shortest half proposed by Rousseeuw & Leroy and Q proposed by Roussee...
متن کاملSaddlepoint tests for quantile regression
Abstract: Quantile regression is a flexible and powerful technique which allows to model the quantiles of the conditional distribution of a response variable given a set of covariates. Regression quantile estimators can be viewed as M−estimators and standard asymptotic inference is readily available based on likelihoodratio, Wald, and score-type test statistics. However, these statistics requir...
متن کاملThe Empirical Saddlepoint Approximation for GMM Estimators
The empirical saddlepoint distribution provides an approximation to the sampling distributions for the GMM parameter estimates and the statistics that test the overidentifying restrictions. The empirical saddlepoint distribution permits asymmetry, non-normal tails, and multiple modes. If identification assumptions are satisfied, the empirical saddlepoint distribution converges to the familiar a...
