基于竞争模型L²距离的混合分布同质性检验
- 研究问题
- 如何检验有限混合分布是否同质，并在不同参数分布族中兼顾检验统计量的计算便利性及相对检验表现？
- 方法与思路
- 作者以拟合同质模型与异质模型之间的L²距离构造D检验，并通过改变积分测度或使用权重强化两类模型之间的差异。
- 材料陈述的贡献
- 摘要称标准参数族下统计量有闭式表达，并建立原假设和备择下的收敛速率；相对MLRT的表现依分布族和加权方式而异。
- 阅读关注点
- 应核对混合模型的参数约束、估计和检验校准方式、权重选择依据，以及与MLRT比较时的尺寸控制和备择设定。
- 阅读边界
- 仅据稿件版本未注明的OpenAlex摘要；比较结果并非一致占优，权重规则和数值细节未说明，企业财务示例也不足以支持资产定价分类。
原文摘要
Ascertaining the number of components in a mixture distribution is an interesting and challenging problem for statisticians. Chen, Chen, and Kalbfleisch recently proposed a modified likelihood ratio test (MLRT), which is distribution-free and locally most powerful, asymptotically. In this article we present a new method for testing whether a finite mixture distribution is homogeneous. Our method, the D test, is based on the L2 distance between a fitted homogeneous model and a fitted heterogeneous model. For mixture components from standard parametric families, the D-test statistic has a closed-form expression in terms of parameter estimators, whereas likelihood ratio-type test statistics do not; the latter test statistics are nontrivial functions of both the parameter estimators and the full dataset. The convergence rates of the D-test statistic under a null hypothesis of homogeneity and an alternative hypothesis of heterogeneity are established. The D test is shown to be competitive with the MLRT when the mixture components come from a normal location family. However, in the exponential scale and normal location/scale cases, the relative performances of the D test and the MLRT are mixed. In cases such as these two, we propose to use a weighted D test, in which the measure underlying the L2 distance is changed to accentuate the disparities between the homogeneous and heterogeneous models. Changing the measure is equivalent to computing the D-test statistic using a weighting function or to transforming the data before conducting the D test. Appropriately weighted D tests are competitive in both the exponential scale and normal location/scale cases. After applying the D test to a dataset in which the observations are measurements of firms' financial performances, we conclude with discussion and remarks.
