HYPOTHESIS TESTING FOR AN EXCHANGEABLE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
Consider an exchangeable normal vector with parameters ????2, and ?. On the basis of a vector observation some tests about these parameters are found and their properties are discussed. A simulation study for these tests and a few nonparametric tests are presented. Some advantages and disadvantages of these tests are discussed and a few applications are given.
متن کاملHypothesis testing: means.
In most biomedical research, investigators hypothesize about the relationships of various factors, collect data to test those relationships, and try to draw conclusions about those relationships from the data collected. In many cases, investigators test relationships by comparing the average level of a factor between 2 groups or between 1 group and a standard reference. This framework is as tru...
متن کاملRobust Means Modeling: An Alternative for Hypothesis Testing of Independent Means Under Variance Heterogeneity and Nonnormality
This study proposes robust means modeling (RMM) approaches for hypothesis testing of mean differences for between-subjects designs in order to control the biasing effects of nonnormality and variance inequality. Drawing from structural equation modeling (SEM), the RMM approaches make no assumption of variance homogeneity and employ robust estimation/rescaling strategies in order to alleviate re...
متن کاملHypothesis testing and information theory
The testing of binary hypotheses is developed from an information-theoretic point of view, and the asymptotic per formance of opt imum hypothesis testers is developed in exact analogy to the asymptotic per formance of opt imum channel codes. The discrimination, introduced by Kullback, is developed in a role analogous to that of mutual information iu channel coding theory. Based on the discrimin...
متن کاملLong-distance dispersal: a framework for hypothesis testing.
Tests of hypotheses about the biogeographical consequences of long-distance dispersal have long eluded biologists, largely because of the rarity and presumed unpredictability of such events. Here, we examine data for terrestrial (including littoral) organisms in the Pacific to show that knowledge of dispersal by wind, birds and oceanic drift or rafting, coupled with information about the natura...
