โฆ Synopsis
The similar test for an a ne hypothesis in the exponential family is approximated by a score statistic, derived from the Edgeworth expansion of the conditional distribution given the minimal su cient statistic under the null hypothesis.

In an exponential family of distributions, the problem of testing for homogeneity of a set of parameters against some restricted alternatives is considered. Incorporating Roy's union-intersection (UI) principle, Rao's efficient score test is extended to such restricted alternatives, and is shown to
Conditionally specified statistical models are frequently constructed from oneparameter exponential family conditional distributions. One way to formulate such a model is to specify the dependence structure among random variables through the use of a Markov random field (MRF). A common assumption on
In the genotyped-proband design, a proband is selected based on an observed phenotype, the genotype of the proband is observed, and then the phenotypes of all first-degree relatives are obtained. The genotypes of these first-degree relatives are not observed. Gail et al. [(1999) Genet Epidemiol] dis
