Likelihood ratio tests for comparingk populations —The two-parameter nonregular models

  • Published:
Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The null and nonnull distributions of the likelihood ratio statistics for testing the homogeneity ofk given populations, each associated with a nonregular density depending on two truncation parameters, are investigated. This generalizes to the two-parameter case the work of Hogg (1956,Ann. Math. Statist.,27, 529–532), Barr (1966,J. Amer. Statist. Assoc.,61, 856–864) and Khatri and Jaiswal (1969,Aust. J. Statist.,11, 79–84; 1969, 1971,Ann. Inst. Statist. Math.,21, 127–136;23, 199–210).
