Asymptotics for likelihood ratio tests under loss of identifiability
失去可识别性时似然比检验的渐近理论
This paper describes the large sample properties of the likelihood ratio test statistic (LRTS) when the parameters characterizing the true null distribution are not unique. It is well known that the classical asymptotic theory for the likelihood ratio test does not apply to such problems and the LRTS may not have the typical chi-squared type limiting distribution. This paper establishes a general quadratic approximation of the log-likelihood ratio function in a Hellinger…
