One-Sided Multivariate Tests for High Dimensional Data
- 1 , Thailand
Abstract
Problem statement: For a multivariate normal population with size smaller than dimension, n<p, the likelihood ratio tests of the null hypothesis that the mean vector was zero with a one-sided alternative were no longer valid because they involved with sample covariance matrix which was singular. Approach: The test statistics for one-sided multivariate hypotheses with n<p were proposed. Results: The simulation study showed that the proposed tests provided reasonable type I error rate for one-sided covariance structures. They also give good powers. The application of these tests was given by testing of one-sided hypotheses on DNA micro array data. Conclusion: Under that there have no such other tests available at present for this kind of hypothesis testing with n<p yet, the proposed tests are good ones. However, the methodology is valid for any one-sided hypotheses application which involves high-dimensional data.
