Abstract

In a 2-step monotone missing dataset drawn from a multivariate normal population, T2-type test statistic (similar to Hotelling’s T2 test statistic) and likelihood ratio (LR) are often used for the test for a mean vector. In complete data, Hotelling’s T2 test and LR test are equivalent, however T2-type test and LR test are not equivalent in the 2-step monotone missing dataset. Then we interest which statistic is reasonable with relation to power. In this paper, we derive asymptotic power function of both statistics under a local alternative and obtain an explicit form for difference in asymptotic power function. Furthermore, under several parameter settings, we compare LR and T2-type test numerically by using difference in empirical power and in asymptotic power function. Summarizing obtained results, we recommend applying LR test for testing a mean vector.

Appendix A Proofs and auxiliary results A.1. Proof of Theorem 2.1

We define the following random variables: z1(1)Np1(0,Ip1),z2(1)Np2(0,Ip2),z1(2)Np1(0,Ip1)W(1)=(W11(1)W12(1)W21(1)W22(1))W(n1,Ip),W11(2)W(n2,Ip1) where W11(1) is a p1×p1 matrix, and W22(1) is a p2×p2 matrix. Furthermore, z1(1),z2(1), z1(2),W(1),W11(2) are mutually independent. Using these random variables, we obtain the following stochastic representations: n(μ̂μ0)=dA{nN1(N1NIp1ON2NW21(1)W11(1)1Ip2)(z1(1)+N1δ1z2(1)+N1δ2·1)+nN2N(Ip1OW21(1)W11(1)1O)(z1(2)+N2δ10)}nC=dnN2A{W(1)+(W˜11W˜11W11(1)1W12(1)W21(1)W11(1)1W˜11W21(1)W11(1)1W˜11W11(1)1W12(1))+(OOOaW22·1(1))}A where A=(Σ111/2OΣ21Σ111/2Σ22·11/2),a=N2N12{1+N2N(N1p12)}1W˜11=W11(2)+ww,W22·1(1)=W22(1)W21(1)W11(1)1W12(1)

Here, w=1/N(N2z1(1)N1z1(2))

First, we obtain the stochastic expansion of n(μ̂μ0). Define V(1) and V11(2) respectively as V(1)=(V11(1)V12(1)V21(1)V22(1)),V11(2)=n21/2(W11(2)n2Ip1) where V11(1)=n11/2(W11(1)n1Ip1),V12(1)=V21(1)=n11/2W12(1),V22(1)=n11/2(W22(1)n1Ip2)

Then the stochastic expansion of n(μ̂μ0) is (A.1) n(μ̂μ0)=dA{ε0+1nε1+1nε2+op(n1)}(A.1) where ε0=(γ1Ip1OO1γ1Ip2){(z1(1)+γ1nδ1z2(1)+γ1nδ2·1)+12nγ1(nδ1nδ2·1)}+(γ2Ip1OOO){(z1(2)+γ2nδ10)+12nγ2(nδ10)}ε1=(OOγ2γ1V21(1)O)(z1(1)+γ1nδ1z2(1)+γ1nδ2·1)+(OOγ2γ1V21(1)O)(z1(2)+γ2nδ10)ε2=(14γ12γ1Ip1Oγ2γ13/2V21(1)V11(1)12γ13/2Ip2)(z1(1)+γ1nδ1z2(1)+γ1nδ2·1)+(14γ12γ1Ip1Oγ2γ1V21(1)V11(1)O)(z1(2)+γ2nδ10)

Next, we derive the stochastic expansion of (nC)1. The result is as follows: (A.2) (nC)1=d(A)1{C01nC1+1nC2+op(n1)}A1(A.2) where C0=(Ip1OOγ1Ip2),C1=γ1V(1)+γ2(V11(2)OOO),C2=(C2,11C2,12C2,21C2,22)

Here, C2,11=(γ1V11(1)+γ2V11(2))2+V12(1)V21(1)(γ2z1(1)γ1z1(2))(γ2z1(1)γ1z1(2))+4Ip1C2,12=C2,21=V11(1)V12(1)+V12(1)V22(1),C2,22=V21(1)V12(1)+(V22(1))2+(2γ2p1)Ip2

Finally, we derive the stochastic expansion of T2. From (A.1) and (A.2), the stochastic expansion of T2 is obtained as T2=Q0+1nQ1+1nQ2+op(n1) where Q0=ε0C0ε0,Q1=2ε0C0ε1ε0C1ε0,Q2=2ε0C0ε2+ε1C0ε12ε0C1ε1+ε0C2ε0

We define z˜=(z1(1)+γ1nδ1, z1(2)+γ2nδ1),z˜2(1)=z2(1)+γ1nδ2·1,B=bb, B=bb where b=(γ1,γ2) and b=(γ2,γ1). Then, we express Q0, Q1 and Q2 as follows: Q0=z˜(BIp1)z˜+z˜2(1)z˜2(1)Q1=z˜(γ1BV11(1)+γ2BV11(2))z˜2γ1z˜(e1V12(1))z˜2(1)1γ1z˜2(1)V22(1)z˜2(1)Q2=z˜Dz˜+2z˜Ez˜2(1)+z˜2(1)Fz˜2(1)+{2b(nδ1)}z˜+1γ1(nδ2·1)z˜2(1) where D=BC2,11+{(1γ1/γ2γ2/γ11)4B}Ip1+{γ2γ1B+2(γ2γ1γ2γ2γ2/γ1γ2)}(V12(1)V21(1))E=γ2γ1(γ2/γ11)(V11(1)V12(1)+V12(1)V22(1))+(1γ2/γ1)C2,12,F=1γ1(C2,22Ip2)

The characteristic function of T2 can be expressed as ψT2(t)=E[exp(itQ0){1+itnQ1+itn(Q2+it2Q12)+op(n1)}]

To evaluate the expectation (A.1), we consider the following transformation: z˜={(I22itB)1/2Ip1}y1+112itbnδ1,z˜2(1)=(12it)1/2y2+112itγ1nδ2·1

The Jacobians are (12it)p1/2 and (12it)p1. Thus we obtain exp(itQ0)ϕp2(z2(1))i=12ϕp1(z1(i))dz1(1)dz2(1)dz1(2)=ψ0(t)ϕp2(y2)ϕ2p1(y1)dy1dy2 where ϕd(·) denotes the probability density function of Nd(0,Id), and ψ0(t)=(12it)p/2exp(itΔ12it)

Through this variable transformation, the characteristic function (A.1) is rewritten as follows: ψT2(t)=ψ0(t)E{1+itnQ1+itn(Q2+it2Q12)+op(n1)}

This notation E expresses the expectation of y1,y2,V(1), and V11(2).

We now evaluate the expectation of higher-order terms in the characteristic function (A.1). Using the moments stated in subsection A.2, the expectations of each term are obtained as follows: E(Q1)=0E(Q2)=γ2p1p2γ1+(112it){p1(p+p2+2)+p2(p2+2)γ1+2Δ1+Δ2·1}+(112it)2{(p+2)Δ1+(γ1p1+p2+2)Δ2·1}E(Q12)=112it4γ2p1p2γ1+2(112it)2{p1(p+p2+2)+p2(p2+2)γ1+2γ2p1Δ2·1}+4(112it)3{(p+2)Δ1+(γ1p1+p2+2)Δ2·1}+2(112it)4(Δ12+γ1Δ2·12+2γ1Δ2·1Δ1)

Organizing by the power of (12it)1, we obtain (A.3) ψT2(t)=ψ0(t){1+18nj=01cj(θ)(12it)j}+o(n1)(A.3)

Performing an inverse Fourier transform on each term in (A.3), we finally obtain (i) in Theorem 2.1.

Next, we will show (ii). The stochastic expansion of Λ is obtained as Λ=Q0+Q1+Q˜2+op(n1) where Q˜2=z˜D˜z˜+z˜E˜z˜2(1)+z˜2(1)F˜z˜2(1)+{2b(nδ1)}z˜+1γ1(nδ2·1)z˜2(1)12{z˜(BIp1)z˜}21γ1[z˜{(e1e1)Ip1}z˜](z˜2(1)z˜2(1))12γ1(z˜2(1)z˜2(1))2[z˜{(bb)Ip1}z˜]2

Here, D˜=B{γ1V11(1)2+γ2V11(2)2+γ1γ2(V11(1)V11(2)+V11(2)V11(1))}+1γ1{(e1e1)(V12(1)V21(1))}+γ1γ22γ1γ2(bb+bb)Ip1E˜=2γ1{e1(V11(1)V12(1)+V12(1)V22(1))},F˜=1γ1(V22(1)2+V21(1)V12(1))

The expectations of Q˜2 is obtained as follows: E(Q˜2)=γ2p1p2γ1+112it{p1(p+1)+p2(p+1)γ1+2Δ1+Δ2·1γ2p1p2γ1}+(112it)2{(p+1)(Δ1+Δ2·1)p1(p1+2)2p2(p2+2)2γ1p1(p2+γ2Δ2·1)}(112it)3{(p1+2)Δ1+(p2Δ1+p1γ1Δ2·1)+(p2+2)Δ2·1}(112it)4(Δ122+γ1Δ1Δ2·1+γ1Δ2·122)

Let ψΛ(t) be the characteristic function of Λ. Organizing by the power of (12it)1, we obtain (A.4) ψΛ(t)=ψ0(t)+ψ0(t)8nj=04{cj(θ)+dj(θ)}(12it)j+o(n1)(A.4)

Performing an inverse Fourier transform on each term in (A.4), we finally obtain (ii) in Theorem 2.1.

A.2 Proof of Theorem 2.2

Let ψL(M)(t) be the characteristic function of L(M)=Λ/(1+M/n). Organizing by the power of (12it)1, we obtain ψL(M)(t)=ψ0(t)+ψ0(t)8nj=01c˜j(12it)j+o(n1) where c˜j=(1)j2(2Mpp2p12γ2γ1)

Hence if M=(p2p12γ2)/(2pγ1),ψL(M)(t)=ψ0(t)+o(n1). Performing an inverse Fourier transform, we finally obtain Theorem 2.2.

A.3 Some moments

Assume that WW(n,Ip),V=n1/2(WnIp), and A and B are p × p symmetric matrices. We divide V into p1 and p2 as follows: V=(V11V12V21V22)

Then it holds that (i)E(Vij)=O,(ii)E(V12V21)=p2Ip1, E(V21V12)=p1Ip2(iii)E{tr(AVBV)}=tr(AB)+tr(A)tr(B),(iv)E{tr(AV)tr(BV)}=2tr(AB)

These results can be directly derived from some results of the moments of the Wishart matrix. For some results of the moment about the Wishart matrix, see Gupta and Nagar (Citation2000).
