چکیده
In this paper, we introduce a Goodness-of-Fit test for the Multivariate Exponential Power (MEP) distribution, a multivariate extension of the Generalized Gaussian, which has recently gained considerable interest as a model for wavelet coefficients in the context of color image retrieval and spread-spectrum watermarking. We present a size and power study of this test and show Goodness-of-Fit results for wavelet coefficients of natural and texture images from various popular databases.

Multilevel Modeling of Complex Survey Data
We describe a multivariate, multilevel, pseudo maximum likelihood estimation method for multistage stratified cluster sampling designs, including finite population and unequal probability sampling. Multilevel models can be estimated with this method while incorporating the sampling design in the standard error computation. Design based adjustment of the likelihood ratio test (LRT) statistic is ...
متن کاملTesting goodness-of-fit in logistic case-control studies
This paper presents a goodness-of-fit test for the logistic regression model under case-control sampling. The test statistic is constructed via a discrepancy between two competing kernel density estimators of the underlying conditional distributions given case-control status. The proposed goodness-of-fit test is shown to compare very favorably with previously proposed tests for case-control sam...
متن کاملA Range-Based Test for the Parametric Form of the Volatility in Diffusion Models
We propose a new test for the parametric form of the volatility function in continuous time diffusion models of the type dXt = a(t,Xt)dt + σ(t,Xt)dWt. Our approach involves a range-based estimation of the integrated volatility and the integrated quarticity, which are used to construct the test statistic. Under rather weak assumptions on the drift and volatility we prove weak convergence of the ...
متن کاملCochran-Armitage test versus logistic regression in the analysis of genetic association studies.
OBJECTIVE The Cochran-Armitage trend test based on the linear regression model has become a standard procedure for association testing in case-control studies. In contrast, the logistic regression model is generally used for estimating effect sizes. The aim of this paper is to propose an approach that allows for association testing and parameter estimation by means of the same statistic. METH...
متن کاملSpot Variance Path Estimation and its Application to High Frequency Jump Testing
This paper considers spot variance path estimation from datasets of intraday high frequency asset prices in the presence of diurnal variance patterns, jumps, leverage effects and microstructure noise. We rely on parametric and nonparametric methods. The estimated spot variance path can be used to extend an existing high frequency jump test statistic, to detect arrival times of jumps and to obta...
