| Abstract: | A simple method of setting linear hypotheses for a split mean vector testable by F-tests in a general linear model, when the covariance matrix has a general form and is completely unknown, is provided by extending the method discussed in Ukita et al. The critical functions in these F-tests are constructed as UMP invariants, when the covariance matrix has a known structure. Further critical functions in F-tests of linear hypotheses for the other split mean vector in the model are shown to be UMP invariant if the same known structure of the covariance matrix is assumed. |
