Testing Covariance Structure in Multivariate Models: Application to Family Disease Data
多元模型协方差结构检验及其在家族疾病数据中的应用
Recent interest in modeling multivariate responses for members of groups has emphasized the need for testing goodness of fit. Here we describe a way to test the covariance structure of a multivariate distribution parameterized by a vector θ. The idea is to extend this distribution, the “null” distribution, to a more general distribution that depends on θ, an additional scalar γ, and a specific quadratic function of the response vector chosen to capture features of an…
