Therefore, in this study, we develop heteroscedastic hierarchical models, called double-heteroscedastic hierarchical models, that take into account the heterogeneity in the means for the second level of the models, in addition to considering the heterogeneity of variance for the first level of the models. In these models, we assume that the vector of means in the second level is sparse. We derive Stein’s unbiased risk estimators (SURE) for the parameters in the model based on data decomposition and study their risk properties both in theory and in numerical experiments under the squared loss. The comparison between our SURE estimator and the classical estimators such as empirical Bayes maximum likelihood estimator (EBMLE) and empirical Bayes moment estimator (EBMOM) is illustrated through a simulation study. Finally, we apply our model to a Baseball data set.","PeriodicalId":45080,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Statistical Theory and Applications","volume":"31 1","pages":"148-161"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89770474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Likelihood ratio tests (LRTs) for comparing several location parameters, comparing several scale parameters and for homogeneity of distributions are derived. The LRTs for all three problems are exact as their null distributions do not depend on any unknown parameters. Algorithms are provided to estimate the exact p-values or the percentiles of null distributions. Approximations to the null distributions that are accurate even for small sample sizes are provided. For testing the equality of scale parameters, the proposed LRT is compared with the tests based on union-intersection method and an iterative procedure. Comparison studies indicate that the LRT is more powerful than the existing ones for most parameter values. The methods are illustrated using an example involving elapsed times from randomization to diagnosis of a serious infection of chronic granulomatous disease that were collected from three different hospitals.","PeriodicalId":45080,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Statistical Theory and Applications","volume":"2 1","pages":"248-260"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78860129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
