ON HYPOTHESIS TESTS FOR COVARIANCE MATRICES UNDER MULTIVARIATE NORMALITY

In this paper we proposed a new statistical test for testing the covariance matrix in one population under multivariate normal assumption. In general, the proposed and the likelihood-ratio tests resulted in larger values of estimated powers than VMAX for bivariate and trivariate cases. VMAX was not...
