On Heterogeneity Tests Based on Efficient Scores
基于有效得分的异质性检验
For cases in which a parameter may be estimated from several independent data sets, Mather (1935) proposed a heterogeneity test based on the efficient scores for the individual data sets evaluated at the overall maximum likelihood estimator. Following Fisher (1946), a modification of the heterogeneity score test is presented wherein a consistent but inefficient estimator of the parameter of interest is substituted for the overall maximum likelihood estimator. The modified…
