Robustness and Power of Tests for a Null Variance Ratio
方差比原假设检验的稳健性与功效
A locally optimal test for a null variance ratio is considered in the context of the one-way random effects model, when normality is assumed. Using an asymptotic design sequence with an increasing number of groups with bounded but unequal sizes, this test has the correct asymptotic level of significance for nonnormal data, a property which is not shared by the competing Wald test. Asymptotic power calculations demonstrate that the locally optimal test may be more powerful…
