Multiple Covariance Matrix Hypothesis Testing

Description

Test whether the covariance matrices of multiple multivariate normal populations are all equal. Suppose we have k populations, the null hypothesis is "H0: Sigma1 = Sigma2 = ... = Sigmak".

The data matrix which is a matrix or data frame.

label

A vector of group labels.

alpha

The significance level. Default is 0.05.

verbose

A boolean value. Default is TRUE. If TRUE, the null hypothesis will be displayed. If FALSE, the test will be carried out silently.

Value

An object of class "testResult", which is a list with the following elements:

Conclusion

The conclusion of the test.

Stat

A data frame containing the statistics, p value and critical value.

SampMeanT

The sample mean.

SampMeanWithin

The sample mean of each group.

Single Covariance Matrix Hypothesis Testing

Description

Test whether the covariance matrix is equal to a certain value. The null hypothesis is "H0: Sigma = Sigma0" or "H0: Sigma = sigma^2 * Sigma0".

Usage

covTest.single(data, Sigma0, ball = FALSE, alpha = 0.05, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

data

The data matrix which is a matrix or data frame.

Sigma0

The covariance matrix when the null hypothesis is true.

ball

A boolean value. Default is FALSE. If FALSE, test whether the covariance matrix is Sigma0 (known), which means the null hypothesis is "H0: Sigma = Sigma0". If TRUE and the Sigma0 is a unit matrix, the Mauchly's ball test will be performed. If TRUE but Sigma0 (known) is not a unit matrix, the covariance matrix will be tested to see if it is sigma^2*Sigma0 (sigma^2 is unknown), which means the null hypothesis is "H0: Sigma = sigma^2 * Sigma0".

alpha

The significance level. Default is 0.05.

verbose

A boolean value. Default is TRUE. If TRUE, the null hypothesis will be displayed. If FALSE, the test will be carried out silently.

Conclusion

The conclusion of the test.

Multiple Mean Vectors Hypothesis Testing

Description

Test whether the mean vectors of multiple multivariate normal populations are all equal when the covariance matrices are equal. Suppose we have k populations, the null hypothesis is that "H0: mu1 = mu2 = ... = muk". There are two approximations (Bartlett's chi2 and Rao's F) to compute the p-value and the critical value. The realized value of the Wilks Lambda statistic and its degrees of freedom are also provided. If you want to perform an exact test, consult the Wilks Lambda statistic quantile table yourself, depending on the realized value of the statistic and its degrees of freedom.

Arguments

The data matrix which is a matrix or data frame.
