題名: | Testing Symmetry of a NIG Distribution | 作者: | 張揖平;洪明欽;劉惠美 Chang, Yi-Ping ; Hung, Ming-Chin ; Liu, Huimei ; Jan, Jian-Feng |

In this article, we propose a likelihood ratio test (LRT) for symmetry of a NIG distribution. Due to the complexity of the likelihood function, an EM type algorithm proposed by Karlis (2002) is used to find the maximum likelihood estimates of the NIG distribution. The conclusions from a simulation study show that the LRT is usually able to achieve the desired significance levels and the testing power increases as the asymmetry increases, i.e., the proposed LRT is successful in detecting the asymmetric behavior of the NIG distribution. | 關聯: | Communications in Statistics: Simulation and Computation, 34(4),851-862 | 資料類型: | article | DOI: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/03610910500307877 |
