Divergence statistics, based on maximum likelihood estimators, as well as Wald’s statistics, likelihood ratio statistics and Rao’s score statistics, share several optimum asymptotic properties, but are highly non-robust in cases of model misspecification under the presence of outlying observations. It is well-known that a small deviation from the underlying assumptions on the model can have drastic effect on the performance of these classical tests. Specifically, this book presents a robust version of the classical Wald statistical test, for testing simple and composite null hypotheses for general parametric models, based on minimum divergence estimators.mixture index of fitKullback-Leibler distancerelative error estimationminimum divergence inferenceNeyman Pearson testinfluence functionconsistencythematic quality assessmentasymptotic normalityHellinger distancenonparametric testBerstein von Mises theoremmaximum composite likelihood estimator2-alternating capacitiesefficiencycorrupted datastatistical distancerobustnesslog-linear modelsrepresentation formulagoodness-of-fitgeneral linear modelWald-type test statisticsHölder divergencedivergencelogarithmic super divergenceinformation geometrysparserobust estimationrelative entropyminimum disparity methodsMM algorithmlocal-polynomial regressionassociation modelstotal variationBayesian nonparametricordinal classification variablesWald test statisticWald-type testcomposite hypothesescompressed datahypothesis testingBayesian semi-parametricsingle index modelindoor localizationcomposite minimum density power divergence estimatorquasi-likelihoodChernoff Stein lemmacomposite likelihoodasymptotic propertyBregman divergencerobust testingmisspecified hypothesis and alternativeleast-favorable hypotheseslocation-scale familycorrelation modelsminimum penalized ?-divergence estimatornon-quadratic distancerobustsemiparametric modeldivergence based testingmeasurement errorsbootstrap distribution estimatorgeneralized renyi entropyminimum divergence methodsgeneralized linear model?-divergenceBregman informationiterated limitscentroidmodel assessmentdivergence measuremodel checktwo-sample testWald statisticPardo Leandroauth499080BOOK9910346856403321New Developments in Statistical Information Theory Based on Entropy and Divergence Measures3037378UNINA
