A Finite Population Likelihood Ratio Test of the Sharp Null Hypothesis for Compliers

چکیده
In a randomized experiment with noncompliance, scientific interest is often in testing whether the treatment exposure X has an effect on the final outcome Y . We propose a finite-population significance test of the sharp null hypothesis that X has no effect on Y , within the principal stratum of Compliers, using a generalized likelihood ratio test. We present a new algorithm that solves the corresponding integer programs.

An Algorithm to Compute the Likelihood Ratio Test Statistic of the Sharp Null Hypothesis for Compliers
In a randomized experiment with noncompliance, scientific interest is often in testing whether the treatment exposure X has an effect on the final outcome Y [2, 1]. We have proposed a finite-population significance test of the sharp null hypothesis that X has no effect on Y , within the principal stratum of compliers, using a generalized likelihood ratio test [4]. As both the null and alternati...
متن کاملA finite population test of the sharp null hypothesis for Compliers
In a randomized experiment with noncompliance, testing whether treatment exposure X has an effect on the final response Y is often of scientific interest. We propose a finite-population permutation-based test of the null hypothesis that X has no effect on Y within Compliers. Our method builds on tests for principal stratum direct effects described in (Nolen and Hudgens, 2011).
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 کاملScore Statistics for Current Status Data: Comparisons with Likelihood Ratio and Wald Statistics
In this paper we introduce three natural “score statistics” for testing the hypothesis that F (t0) takes on a fixed value in the context of nonparametric inference with current status data. These three new test statistics have natural intepretations in terms of certain (weighted) L2 distances, and are also connected to natural “one-sided” scores. We compare these new test statistics with an ana...
