On the Multivariate Asymptotic Distribution of Sequential Chi-square Statistics
نویسندگان
چکیده
The multivariate asymptotic distribution of sequential Chi-square test statistics is investigated. It is shown that: (a) when sequential Chi-square statistics are calculated for nested models on the same data, the statistics have an asymptotic intercorrelation which may be expressed in closed form, and which is, in many cases, quite high; and (b) sequential Chi-square difference tests are asymptotically independent. Some Monte Carlo evidence on the applicability of the theory is provided.

Testing structural equation models: The effect of kurtosis
Various chi-square statistics are used for testing structural equation models. A commonly used chi-square is the Satorra-Bentler (SB) statistic. This is a normal-theory chi-square corrected for non-normality in the observed variables. The relationship between the SB statistic and kurtosis is developed and it is shown that the SB statistic tends to decrease with increasing kurtosis if the model ...
متن کاملConditions for Robustness to Nonnormality on Test Statistics in a Gmanova Model
This paper presents the conditions for robustness to the nonnormality on three test statistics for a general multivariate linear hypothesis, which were proposed under the normal assumption in a generalized multivariate analysis of variance (GMANOVA) model. The proposed conditions require the cumulants of an unknown population’s distribution to vanish in the second terms of the asymptotic expans...
متن کاملSimultaneous Statistical Inference in Dynamic Factor Models
Based on the theory of multiple statistical hypotheses testing, we elaborate likelihood-based simultaneous statistical inference methods in dynamic factor models (DFMs). To this end, we work up and extend the methodology of Geweke and Singleton (1981) by proving a multivariate central limit theorem for empirical Fourier transforms of the observable time series. In an asymptotic regime with obse...
متن کاملGeneralized Rank Tests for Progressive Censoring Procedures
In clinical trials and life testing problems the responses are time-sequential in nature and a compl~t~ experimentation may involve a prohibitive amount of time and cost •. • Fo't "this reason, progressive· censoring schemes (PCS) are often advocated with a view to terminating the experimentation at the earliest possible stage if the accumulated statistical evidence warrants to do so. In this d...
متن کاملOn Sequential Nonparametric Estimation of Multivariate Lqcation
For the multivariate one-sample location model (relating to a diagonally symmetric distribution). sequential non-parametric (point as well as interval) estimators based on appropriate rank statistics are considered and their asymptotic properties studied. In this context. asymptotic risk-efficiency of the proposed estimators and asymptotic normality of the associated stopping times are establis...
