Log-likelihood ratio test for a Dirichlet mean vector:
Log-likelihood ratio test for a Dirichlet mean vector
Description
Log-likelihood ratio test for a Dirichlet mean vector.
Usage
dirimean.test(x, a)
Arguments
x
A matrix with the compositional data. No zero values are allowed.
a
A compositional mean vector. The concentration parameter is estimated at first. If the elements do not sum to 1, it is assumed that the Dirichelt parameters are supplied.
Value
If there are no zeros in the data, a list including:
If there are no zeros in the data, a list including:
Details
Log-likelihood ratio test is performed for the hypothesis the given vector of parameters "a" describes the compositional data well.
