An empirical adjustment to the likelihood ratio statistic
似然比统计量的经验调整
Consider a model parameterised by a scalar parameter of interest ψ and a nuisance parameter λ. Inference about ψ may be based on the signed square root of the likelihood ratio statistic, R. The statistic R is asymptotically distributed according to a standard normal distribution, with error O(n-½). To reduce the error of this normal approximation, several modifications to R have been proposed such as Barndorff-Nielsen's modified directed likelihood statistic, R*. In this…
