In this paper, we consider nonparametric multiple comparison procedures for unbalanced two-way factorial designs under a pure nonparametric framework. For multiple comparisons of treatments versus a control concerning the main effects or the simple factor effects, the limiting distribution of the associated rank statistics is proven to satisfy the multivariate totally positive of order two condition. Hence, asymptotically the proposed Hochberg procedure strongly controls the familywise type I error rate for the simultaneous testing of the individual hypotheses. In addition, we propose to employ Shaffer's modified version of Holm's stepdown procedure to perform simultaneous tests on all pairwise comparisons regarding the main or simple factor effects and to perform simultaneous tests on all interaction effects. The logical constraints in the corresponding hypothesis families are utilized to sharpen the rejective thresholds and improve the power of the tests. 相似文献

In nonparametric statistics, a hypothesis testing problem based on the ranks of the data gives rise to two separate permutation sets corresponding to the null and to the alternative hypothesis, respectively. A modification of Critchlow's unified approach to hypothesis testing is proposed. By defining the distance between permutation sets to be the average distance between pairs of permutations, one from each set, various test statistics are derived for the multi-sample location problem and the two-way layout. The asymptotic distributions of the test statistics are computed under both the null and alternative hypotheses. Some comparisons are made on the basis of the asymptotic relative efficiency. 相似文献

The nonparametric version of the classical mixed model is considered and the common hypotheses of (parametric) main effects and interactions are reformulated in a nonparametric setup. To test these nonparametric hypotheses, the asymptotic distributions of quadratic forms of rank statistics are derived in a general framework which enables the derivation of the statistics for the nonparametric hypotheses of the fixed treatment effects and interactions in an arbitrary mixed model. The procedures given here are not restricted to semiparametric models or models with additive effects. Moreover, they are robust to outliers since only the ranks of the observations are needed. They are also applicable to pure ordinal data and since no continuity of the distribution functions is assumed, they can also be applied to data with ties. Some approximations for small sample sizes are suggested and analyzed in a simulation study. The application of the statistics and the interpretation of the results is demonstrated in several worked-out examples where some data sets given in the literature are re-analyzed. 相似文献

When prediction intervals are constructed using unobserved component models (UCM), problems can arise due to the possible existence of components that may or may not be conditionally heteroscedastic. Accurate coverage depends on correctly identifying the source of the heteroscedasticity. Different proposals for testing heteroscedasticity have been applied to UCM; however, in most cases, these procedures are unable to identify the heteroscedastic component correctly. The main issue is that test statistics are affected by the presence of serial correlation, causing the distribution of the statistic under conditional homoscedasticity to remain unknown. We propose a nonparametric statistic for testing heteroscedasticity based on the well-known Wilcoxon''s rank statistic. We study the asymptotic validation of the statistic and examine bootstrap procedures for approximating its finite sample distribution. Simulation results show an improvement in the size of the homoscedasticity tests and a power that is clearly comparable with the best alternative in the literature. We also apply the test on real inflation data. Looking for the presence of a conditionally heteroscedastic effect on the error terms, we arrive at conclusions that almost all cases are different than those given by the alternative test statistics presented in the literature. 相似文献

We consider multiple comparison test procedures among treatment effects in a randomized block design. We propose closed testing procedures based on maximum values of some two-sample t test statistics and based on F test statistics. It is shown that the proposed procedures are more powerful than single-step procedures and the REGW (Ryan/Einot–Gabriel/Welsch)-type tests. Next, we consider the randomized block design under simple ordered restrictions of treatment effects. We propose closed testing procedures based on maximum values of two-sample one-sided t test statistics and based on Batholomew’s statistics for all pairwise comparisons of treatment effects. Although single-step multiple comparison procedures are utilized in general, the power of these procedures is low for a large number of groups. The closed testing procedures stated in the present article are more powerful than the single-step procedures. Simulation studies are performed under the null hypothesis and some alternative hypotheses. In this studies, the proposed procedures show a good performance. 相似文献

A class of aligned rank order tests for interaction in two-way layouts is considered. The technique is based on application of the existing nonparametric techniques for one-way layouts to the transformed observations. It is shown that the asymptotic properties of these techniques are preserved after alignment. Furthermore, asymptotic relative efficiency comparisons are made with some of the competing tests. Finally, we demonstrate that our technique can be used to test for higher-order interactions in general multi-factor layouts. 相似文献

Based on two-sample rank order statistics, a repeated significance testing procedure for a multi-sample location problem is considered. The asymptotic distribution theory of the proposed tests is given under the null hypothesis as well as under local alternatives. A Bahadur efficiency result of the repeated significance test relative to the terminal test based solely on the target sample size is presented. In the adaptation of the proposed tests to multiple comparisons, an asymptotically equivalent test statistic in terms of the rank estimators of the location parameters is derived from which the Scheffé method of multiple comparisons can be obtained in a convinient way. 相似文献

A rank-based inference is developed for repeated measures balanced incomplete block and randomized complete block designs using a suitable dispersion function. Asymptotic distributions of rank estimators are developed after establishing approximate linearity of the gradient vector of the dispersion function. Unlike available nonparametric procedures for those designs, estimation and testing are tied together. Three different test statistics are developed for testing the linear hypotheses. Friedman's (1937) statistic and Durbin's (1951) statistic are particular cases of one of the three proposed statistics. An estimate of a scale parameter which appears in the ARE expression as well as as in the variences and covariances of the rank estimators is discussed. 相似文献

In this paper we consider generalizations of the distribution-free one-way ANOVA test procedures studied by Puri (1965), such generalizations allowing for possibly different scoring functions for different pairs of samples. The asymptotic distributions of the test statistics are derived and formulas for the asymptotic relative efficiencies of these tests with respect to a parametric competitor are obtained. Applications of these procedures to settings of ordered and umbrella alternatives are presented and potential advantages of this pair-specific scoring scheme are discussed. 相似文献

A bootstrap based method to construct 1−α simultaneous confidence intervals for relative effects in the one-way layout is
presented. This procedure takes the stochastic correlation between the test statistics into account and results in narrower
simultaneous confidence intervals than the application of the Bonferroni correction. Instead of using the bootstrap distribution
of a maximum statistic, the coverage of the confidence intervals for the individual comparisons are adjusted iteratively until
the overall confidence level is reached. Empirical coverage and power estimates of the introduced procedure for many-to-one
comparisons are presented and compared with asymptotic procedures based on the multivariate normal distribution. 相似文献

Bhattacharyya and Kioiz (1966) propose two multivariate nonparametric tests for monotone trend, one involving coordinate-wise Mann statistics and the other, coordinate-wise Spearman statistics. Dietz and Killeen (1981) propose a different test statistic based on coordinate-wise Mann statistics. The Pitman asymptotic relative efficiency of all three tests with respect to a normal theory competitor equals the cube root of the efficiency of a multivariate signed rank test with respect to Hotelling's T2. In this article, the small sample power of the nonparametric tests, the normal theory test, and a Bonferroni approach involving coordinate-wise univariate Mann or Spearman tests is examined in a simulation study. The Mann statistic of Dietz and Killeen and the Spearman statistic of Bhattacharyya and Klotz are found to perform well under both null and alternative hypotheses 相似文献

A nonparametric test procedure is proposed for the analysis of randomized complete block designs. Such a procedure may be carried out graphically in the form of a Shewhart control chart. Exact and asymptotic critical values are given for the implementation of the proposed procedure. A Monte Carlo study is made to compare the powers of the proposed procedure to those of analysis of variance, the analysis of means, and the Friedman procedures. Results of the study indicate that the proposed procedure has superior power performance when testing against slippage alternative hypotheses under heavy-tailed distributions such as the Cauchy distribution. However, when testing against symmetric alternatives under light-tailed distributions, the proposed procedure does not perform well 相似文献

Over the years many researchers have dealt with testing the hypotheses of symmetry in univariate and multivariate distributions in the parametric and nonparametric setup. In a multivariate setup, there are several formulations of symmetry, for example, symmetry about an axis, joint symmetry, marginal symmetry, radial symmetry, symmetry about a known point, spherical symmetry, and elliptical symmetry among others. In this paper, for the bivariate case, we formulate a concept of symmetry about a straight line passing through the origin in a plane and accordingly develop a simple nonparametric test for testing the hypothesis of symmetry about a straight line. The proposed test is based on a measure of deviance between observed counts of bivariate samples in suitably defined pairs of sets. The exact null distribution and non-null distribution, for specified classes of alternatives, of the test statistics are obtained. The null distribution is tabulated for sample size from n=5 up to n=30. The null mean, null variance and the asymptotic null distributions of the proposed test statistics are also obtained. The empirical power of the proposed test is evaluated by simulating samples from the suitable class of bivariate distributions. The empirical findings suggest that the test performs reasonably well against various classes of asymmetric bivariate distributions. Further, it is advocated that the basic idea developed in this work can be easily adopted to test the hypotheses of exchangeability of bivariate random variables and also bivariate symmetry about a given axis which have been considered by several authors in the past. 相似文献

We discuss smoothed rank statistics for testing the location shift parameter of the two-sample problem. They are based on discrete test statistics – the median and Wilcoxon's rank sum tests. For the one-sample problem, Maesono et al. [Smoothed nonparametric tests and their properties. arXiv preprint. 2016; ArXiv:1610.02145] reported that some nonparametric discrete tests have a problem with their p-values because of their discreteness. The p-values of Wilcoxon's test are frequently smaller than those of the median test in the tail area. This leads to an arbitrary choice of the median and Wilcoxon's rank sum tests. To overcome this problem, we propose smoothed versions of those tests. The smoothed tests inherit the good properties of the original tests and are asymptotically equivalent to them. We study the significance probabilities and local asymptotic powers of the proposed tests. 相似文献

A nonparametric rank test for the two-sample location and scale bivariate problem is proposed. The asymptotic distribution of the statistic of the test is derived under the null hypothesis and under a class of contiguous alternatives. The asymptotic relative efficiency is given and a simulation study gives the performance of the test and some competitors. 相似文献

Weighted symmetry is an extension of the classical notion of symmetry in which the tails of a distribution are similar, up to a scaling factor. The authors develop test statistics of weighted symmetry based on empirical processes. The finite‐dimensional distributions of the proposed statistics are either non‐parametric or conditionally nonparametric, according as the parameters of weighted symmetry are known or estimated. Asymptotically, the distributions of the processes behave like Brownian bridges or motions, leading to familiar distributions for the proposed test statistics. The authors also establish the asymptotic normality of Hodges‐Lehmann type estimators based on a generalization of the Wilcoxon signed rank test. Furthermore, they propose density estimators in mat setting. 相似文献

This article considers nonparametric comparison of survival functions, one of the most commonly required task in survival studies. For this, several test procedures have been proposed for interval-censored failure time data in which distributions of censoring intervals are identical among different treatment groups. Sometimes the distributions may depend on treatments and thus not be the same. A class of test statistics is proposed for situations where the distributions may be different for subjects in different treatment groups. The asymptotic normality of the test statistics is established and the test procedure is evaluated by simulations, which suggest that it works well for practical situations. An illustrative example is provided. 相似文献

ABSTRACTMultiple comparisons for two or more mean vectors are considered when the dimension of the vectors may exceed the sample size, the design may be unbalanced, populations need not be normal, and the true covariance matrices may be unequal. Pairwise comparisons, including comparisons with a control, and their linear combinations are considered. Under fairly general conditions, the asymptotic multivariate distribution of the vector of test statistics is derived whose quantiles can be used in multiple testing. Simulations are used to show the accuracy of the tests. Real data applications are also demonstrated. 相似文献

In this paper, we propose a smooth nonparametric estimator of mean residual life based on a randomly censored sample. Large sample properties of the proposed estimator are examined. Also we study the asymptotic relative efficiency for different members in the family of test statistics, proposed by Lim and Park(1998), for testing whether or not the mean residual life changes its trend, and we discuss the efficiency values of loss due to censoring. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to illustrate the performance of our estimation and investigate the performance of test statistics by the power of tests. 相似文献

Simes' (1986) improved Bonferroni test is verified by simulations ?to control the α-level when testing the overall homogeneity hypothesis with all pairwise t statistics in a balanced parallel group design. Similarly, this result was found to hold (for practical purposes) in various underlying distributions other than the normal and in some unbalanced designs. To allow the use of step-up procedures based on pairwise t statistics, simulations were used to verify that Simes' test, when applied to testing multiple subset homogeneity hypotheses with pairwise t statistics also keeps the level ? α. Some robustness as above was found here too. Tables of the simulation results are provided and an example of a step-up Hommel-Shaffer type procedure with pairwise comparisons is given. 相似文献
