A new look at the statistical model identification

TL;DR: In this article, a new estimate minimum information theoretical criterion estimate (MAICE) is introduced for the purpose of statistical identification, which is free from the ambiguities inherent in the application of conventional hypothesis testing procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bayesian Model Selection in Social Research

TL;DR: In this article, a Bayesian approach to hypothesis testing, model selection, and accounting for model uncertainty is presented, which is straightforward through the use of the simple and accurate BIC approximation, and it can be done using the output from standard software.

Likelihood Ratio Tests for Model Selection and Non-Nested Hypotheses

Quang Vuong
- 01 Mar 1989 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose simple and directional likelihood-ratio tests for discriminating and choosing between two competing models whether the models are nonnested, overlapping or nested and whether both, one, or neither is misspecified.
Journal ArticleDOI

HyPhy: hypothesis testing using phylogenies

TL;DR: The HyPhypackage is designed to provide a flexible and unified platform for carrying out likelihood-based analyses on multiple alignments of molecular sequence data, with the emphasis on studies of rates and patterns of sequence evolution.

The stochastic behavior of commodity prices: Implications for valuation and hedging

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare three models of the stochastic behavior of commodity prices that take into account mean reversion, in terms of their ability to price existing futures contracts, and their implication with respect to the valuation of other financial and real assets.

On the Distribution of the Likelihood Ratio

TL;DR: In this paper, the asymptotic distribution of the likelihood ratio λ is examined when the value of the parameter is a boundary point of both the set of points corresponding to the hypothesis and the set corresponding to an alternative.

Some Principles of the Theory of Testing Hypotheses

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed the likelihood ratio principle as a general applicable criterion for hypothesis testing, which has proved extremely successful; nearly all tests now in use for testing parametric hypotheses are likelihood ratio tests, and many of them have been shown to possess various optimum properties.
