On Selecting Tests for Equality of Two Normal Mean Vectors.
The conventional approach for testing the equality of two normal mean vectors is to test first the equality of covariance matrices, and if the equality assumption is tenable, then use the two-sample Hotelling T (2) test. Otherwise one can use one of the approximate tests for the multivariate Behrens-Fisher problem. In this article, we study the properties of the Hotelling T (2) test, the conven...
متن کاملMinimum Message Length Analysis of the Behrens-Fisher Problem
Given two sequences of Gaussian data, the Behrens–Fisher problem is to infer whether there exists a difference between the two corresponding population means if the population variances are unknown. This paper examines the Behrens–Fisher-type problem within the minimum message length framework of inductive inference. Using a special bounding on a uniform prior over the population means, a simpl...
متن کاملModi ed Nel and Van der Merwe test for the multivariate Behrens – Fisher problem
A new test to the multivariate Behrens–Fisher problem is obtained by modifying Nel and Van der Merwe’s (Comm. Statist. Theory Methods 15 (1986) 3719) test. The new test is a8ne invariant and it simpli es to the Welch’s approximate solution to the univariate case. The merits of the new test and two existing invariant tests are evaluated using Monte Carlo method. Monte Carlo comparison shows that...
متن کاملOn the Behrens–fisher Problem: a Globally Convergent Algorithm and a Finite-sample Study of the Wald, Lr and Lm Tests
In this paper we provide a provably convergent algorithm for the multivariate Gaussian Maximum Likelihood version of the Behrens– Fisher Problem. Our work builds upon a formulation of the loglikelihood function proposed by Buot and Richards [5]. Instead of focusing on the first order optimality conditions, the algorithm aims directly for the maximization of the log-likelihood function itself to...
متن کاملThe Behrens-Fisher Problem: An Empirical Likelihood Approach
A new theoretical solution to the Behrens-Fisher (BF) problem is developed using the maximum empirical likelihood method. The sampling properties of the empirical likelihood ratio (ELR) test for the BF problem are derived using Monte Carlo simulation for a wide range of situations. A comparison of the sizes and powers of the ELR test and the Welch-Aspin test is conducted for a special case of s...
