An Asymptotic Expansion of the Nonnull Distribution of Wilks Criterion for Testing the Multivariate Linear Hypothesis
多元线性假设检验中 Wilks 统计量非零假设分布的渐近展开
An asymptotic expansion of the nonnull distribution of the Wilks statistic for testing the linear hypothesis in multivariate analysis of variance is obtained up to the order $N^{-2}$ where $N$ is the sample size, for the first time in terms of noncentral beta distributions. The asymptotic distributions are better than the ones available in Anderson (1958) in the null case and in Sugiura and Fujikoshi (1969) and Posten and Bergman (1964) in the nonnull case. In fact, for…
