Bootstrapping F test for testing Random Effects in Linear Mixed Models

Methodology 2018-12-11 v1

Abstract

Recently Hui et al. (2018) use F tests for testing a subset of random effect, demonstrating its computational simplicity and exactness when the first two moment of the random effects are specified. We extended the investigation of the F test in the following two aspects: firstly, we examined the power of the F test under non-normality of the errors. Secondly, we consider bootstrap counterparts to the F test, which offer improvement for the cases with small cluster size or for the cases with non-normal errors.
