Testing the Independence Assumption in Linear Models
检验线性模型中的独立性假设
We propose using an existing set of statistical tools in a new way that allows one to test the independence assumption in standard normal theory linear models. The set of tools is near-replicate lack-of-fit tests. The classical lack-of-fit test requires a linear model in which some rows of the model matrix are repeated. Near-replicate lack-of-fit tests were developed to mimic the behavior of the classical test by identifying clusters of rows in the design matrix that are…
