Likelihood Ratio Tests for Goodness-of-Fit of a Nonlinear Regression Model
We propose likelihood and restricted likelihood ratio tests for goodness-of-fit of nonlinear regression. The first order Taylor approximation around the MLE of the regression parameters is used to approximate the null hypothesis and the alternative is modeled nonparametrically using penalized splines. The exact finite sample distribution of the test statistics is obtained for the linear model a...
متن کاملLikelihood Ratio Tests for Dependent Data with Applications to Longitudinal and Functional Data Analysis
The paper introduces a general framework for testing hypotheses about the structure of the mean function of complex functional processes. Important particular cases of the proposed framework are: 1) testing the null hypotheses that the mean of a functional process is parametric against a general alternative modeled by penalized splines; and 2) testing the null hypothesis that the means of two p...
متن کاملOn Semiparametric Regression with O'sullivan Penalized Splines
An exposition on the use of O’Sullivan penalized splines in contemporary semiparametric regression, including mixed model and Bayesian formulations, is presented. O’Sullivan penalized splines are similar to P-splines, but have the advantage of being a direct generalization of smoothing splines. Exact expressions for the O’Sullivan penalty matrix are obtained. Comparisons between the two types o...
متن کاملA solution to the problem of separation in logistic regression.
The phenomenon of separation or monotone likelihood is observed in the fitting process of a logistic model if the likelihood converges while at least one parameter estimate diverges to +/- infinity. Separation primarily occurs in small samples with several unbalanced and highly predictive risk factors. A procedure by Firth originally developed to reduce the bias of maximum likelihood estimates ...
متن کاملLikelihood ratio tests in linear mixed models with one variance component
We consider the problem of testing null hypotheses that include restrictions on the variance component in a linear mixed model with one variance component. We derive the finite sample and asymptotic distribution of the likelihood ratio test (LRT) and the restricted likelihood ratio test (RLRT). The spectral representations of the LRT and RLRT statistics are used as the basis of an efficient sim...
