Chernoff-Savage and Hodges-Lehmann results for Wilks' test

چکیده
Abstract: We extend to rank-based tests of multivariate independence the Chernoff-Savage and Hodges-Lehmann classical univariate results. More precisely, we show that the Taskinen, Kankainen and Oja (2004) normal-score rank test for multivariate independence uniformly dominates – in the Pitman sense – the classical Wilks (1935) test, which establishes the Pitman non-admissibility of the latter, and provide, for any fixed space dimensions p, q of the marginals, the lower bound for the asymptotic relative efficiency, still with respect to Wilks’ test, of the Wilcoxon version of the same.

Rank-based Optimal Tests of the Adequacy of an Elliptic Varma Model
We are deriving optimal rank-based tests for the adequacy of a vector autoregressive-moving average (VARMA) model with elliptically contoured innovation density. These tests are based on the ranks of pseudo-Mahalanobis distances and on normed residuals computed from Tyler’s [Ann. Statist. 15 (1987) 234–251] scatter matrix; they generalize the univariate signed rank procedures proposed by Hallin...
متن کاملA Chernoff-Savage Result for Shape On the Non-admissibility of Pseudo-Gaussian Methods
Chernoff and Savage (1958) established that, in the context of univariate location models, Gaussian-score rank-based procedures uniformly dominate—in terms of Pitman asymptotic relative efficiencies—their pseudo-Gaussian parametric counterparts. This result, which had quite an impact on the success and subsequent development of rank-based inference, has been extended to many location problems, ...
متن کاملDevelopment of Software for Multiple Criteria Evaluation
This paper considers the main positions of one-sided and two-sided problems. For onesided problems only the method of solution “the distance to the ideal point” is discussed in the actual version. For two-sided problems a distinction is made between games with rational behaviour and games against nature. The main strategic principles are as follows: simple min-max principle, extended min-max pr...
متن کاملA Unified and Elementary Proof of Serial and Nonserial, Univariate and Multivariate, Chernoff-Savage Results
We provide a simple proof that the Chernoff-Savage [1] result, establishing the uniform dominance of normal-score rank procedures over their Gaussian competitors, also holds in a broad class of problems involving serial and/or multivariate observations. The non-admissibility of the corresponding everyday practice Gaussian procedures (multivariate least-squares estimators, multivariate t-tests a...
