Abstract:The question of testing for equality in distribution between two linear models, each consisting of sums of distinct discrete independent random variables with unequal numbers of observations, has emerged from the biological research. In this case, the computation of classical χ 2 statistics, which would not include all observations, results in loss of power, especially when sample sizes are small. Here, as an alternative that uses all data, the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator for the distribution of… Show more
