Saddlepoint Approximations for Tests of Block Independence, Sphericity and Equal Variances and Covariances
块独立性、球形性及方差协方差相等检验的鞍点近似
SUMMARY Approximations for the null distribution of various test statistics arising in multivariate analysis using Skovgaard's saddlepoint formula are discussed. In each case an approximation is found with such accuracy as to obviate the need for exact computation.
