The use of an identity in Anderson for multivariate multiple testing. (English) Zbl 1137.62038

Summary: Consider the model where there are \(I\) independent, multivariate normal treatment populations with \(p\times1\) mean vectors \(\mu_i\), \(i=1,\dots,I\), and covariance matrix \(\Sigma\). Independently the \((I+1)\)st population corresponds to a control and it too is multivariate normal with mean vector \(\mu_{I+1}\) and covariance matrix \(\Sigma\). Now consider the following two multiple testing problems.
Problem 1: Test \(H_{ij}: \mu_{ij}- \mu_{(I-1)j}= 0\) vs \(K_{ij}: \mu_{ij}- \mu_{(I-1)j}\neq 0\), \(i=1,\dots, I\); \(j=1,\dots,p\).
Problem 2: Test \(H_i:\mu_i- \mu_{(I+1)}=0\) vs \(K_i:\mu_i- \mu_{(I+1)}\neq0\).
For each problem an identity of T. W. Anderson [An introduction to multivariate statistical analysis. 2nd ed., New York: Wiley (1984; Zbl 0651.62041)] is used to derive families of likelihood ratio statistics that can be used to determine step-down multiple testing procedures with desirable properties.
