Testing for the Nullity of the Multiple Correlation Coefficient with Incomplete Multivariate Data

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: The University of Western Ontario Series in Philosophy of Science ((WONS,volume 35))

Abstract

This paper derives the likelihood ratio statistic to test the nullity of the multiple correlation coefficient between X 1 and (X 2,...,X k ) under the assumption that (X1, X2,..., Xk) has a multivariate normal distribution and a sample of size n is available, where for N observation vectors all components are available, while for M = (n - N) observation vectors, the data on the last q components, (X k-q+1,X k-q+2,...,X k), are missing.
