Traditional resampling-based tests for homogeneity in covariance matrices across multiple groups resample residuals, that is, data centered by group means. These residuals do not share the same second moments when the null hypothesis is false, which makes them difficult to use in the setting of multiple testing. An alternative approach is to resample standardized residuals, data centered by group sample means and standardized by group sample covariance matrices. This approach, however, has been observed to inflate type I error when sample size is small or data are generated from heavy-tailed distributions. We propose to improve this approach by using robust estimation for the first and second moments. We discuss two statistics: the Bartlett statistic and a statistic based on eigen-decomposition of sample covariance matrices. Both statistics can be expressed in terms of standardized errors under the null hypothesis. These methods are extended to test homogeneity in correlation matrices. Using simulation studies, we demonstrate that the robust resampling approach provides comparable or superior performance, relative to traditional approaches, for single testing and reasonable performance for multiple testing. The proposed methods are applied to data collected in an HIV vaccine trial to investigate possible determinants, including vaccine status, vaccine-induced immune response level and viral genotype, of unusual correlation pattern between HIV viral load and CD4 count in newly infected patients. 相似文献

Unbalanced repeated-measures models with structured covariance matrices 总被引:32,自引:0,他引:32
The question of how to analyze unbalanced or incomplete repeated-measures data is a common problem facing analysts. We address this problem through maximum likelihood analysis using a general linear model for expected responses and arbitrary structural models for the within-subject covariances. Models that can be fit include standard univariate and multivariate models with incomplete data, random-effects models, and models with time-series and factor-analytic error structures. We describe Newton-Raphson and Fisher scoring algorithms for computing maximum likelihood estimates, and generalized EM algorithms for computing restricted and unrestricted maximum likelihood estimates. An example fitting several models to a set of growth data is included. 相似文献
