Likelihood inference for small variance components
The authors explore likelihood-based methods for making inferences about the components of variance in a general normal mixed linear model. In particular, they use local asymptotic approximations to construct confidence intervals for the components of variance when the components are close to the boundary of the parameter space. In the process, they explore the question of how to profile the re...
متن کاملA New Approximation for the Null Distribution of the Likelihood Ratio Test Statistics for k Outliers in a Normal Sample
Usually when performing a statistical test or estimation procedure, we assume the data are all observations of i.i.d. random variables, often from a normal distribution. Sometimes, however, we notice in a sample one or more observations that stand out from the crowd. These observation(s) are commonly called outlier(s). Outlier tests are more formal procedures which have been developed for detec...
متن کاملSmall sample inference for fixed effects from restricted maximum likelihood.
Restricted maximum likelihood (REML) is now well established as a method for estimating the parameters of the general Gaussian linear model with a structured covariance matrix, in particular for mixed linear models. Conventionally, estimates of precision and inference for fixed effects are based on their asymptotic distribution, which is known to be inadequate for some small-sample problems. In...
متن کاملInference for the Sharpe Ratio Using a Likelihood-Based Approach
The Sharpe ratio is the prominent risk-adjusted performance measure used by practitioners. Statistical testing of this ratio using its asymptotic distribution has lagged behind its use. In this paper, highly accurate likelihood analysis is applied for inference on the Sharpe ratio. Both the oneand two-sample problems are considered. The methodology has O n−3/2 distributional accuracy and can be...
متن کاملHigher Accuracy for Bayesian and Frequentist Inference: Large Sample Theory for Small Sample Likelihood
Recent likelihood theory produces p-values that have remarkable accuracy and wide applicability. The calculations use familiar tools such as maximum likelihood values (MLEs), observed information and parameter rescaling. The usual evaluation of such p-values is by simulations, and such simulations do verify that the global distribution of the p-values is uniform(0, 1), to high accuracy in repea...
