TABLE 3.
Preferential comparisons between hypotheses H0, H1, H2, and H3
H0 | H1 | H2 | H3 | |
---|---|---|---|---|
H0 | — | Score | Score | Score, LRT |
H1 | Score | — | Scorea | LRTb |
H2 | Score | Scorea | — | LRTb |
H3 | Score, LRT | LRTb | LRTb | — |
All comparisons can be implemented as exact tests.
The more general score statistic described in the domains section is required.
The exact test requires an optimization routine to maximize the likelihood, as the likelihood ratio does not take a closed form.
