โฆ Synopsis
Tsui and Weerahandi (1989) defined generalized p-values for testing statistical hypothesis in the presence of nuisance parameters and applied to obtain an exact solution to the univariate Behrens-Fisher problem. Johnson and Weerahandi (1988) provided a Bayesian solution to the multivariate Behrens-Fisher problem. With the help of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality we provide an upper bound for the generalized p-value for the multivariate case. Also we extend the result of Tsui and Weerahandi to present a second upper bound.

This paper is inspired by recent work of G.A. Barnard, who treats the Behrens-Fisher problem from a Bayesian point of view, and provides calculator programs to implement the solutions (including the classical fiducial solution). We review Barnard's work, and generalize his family of priors in a mann
An approximate and practical solution is proposed for the Behrens-Fisher problem. This solution is compared to the solutions considered by MEHTA and SRINIVASAN (1970) and WELCH'S (1937) approximate t-test in terms of the stability of the size and magnitude of the power. It is shown that the stabilit
The nonparametric Behrens-Fisher hypothesis is the most appropriate null hypothesis for the two-sample comparison when one does not wish to make restrictive assumptions about possible distributions. In this paper, a numerical approach is described by which the likelihood ratio test can be calculated
