Abstract:
The exact null distribution of the likelihood ratio test statistic for testing equality of covariance matrices of q compound symmetric Gaussian models (bivariate or trivariate) has been obtained and percentage points for q ? 5 have been computed. The inverse Mellin transform and calculus of residues have been used to derive these results.
