Abstract

Let Λ = |Se|/|Se+Sh|, where Sh and Se are independently distributed as Wishart distributions Wp (q, Σ) and Wp (n, Σ), respectively. Then Λ has Wilks' lambda distribution Λp,q,n which appears as the distributions of various multivariate likelihood ratio tests. This paper is concerned with theoretical accuracy for asymptotic expansions of the distribution of T =-n log Λ. We derive error bounds for the approximations. It is necessary to underline that our error bounds are given in explicit and computable forms.
