It is often easier to find the MLE by minimizing the negative log likelihood function, which is given by
Taking the derivative of (3.14) with respect to μ, we have
Setting the partial derivative in (3.15) to zero, the MLE of μ is obtained as
which is the sample mean vector of the data set x1, x2,…, xn. The derivation of the MLE of Σ is more involved and beyond the scope of this book. The result is given by
where S is the sample covariance matrix as given in (2.6). Since the MLE
One useful property of MLE is the invariance property. In general, let
Then based on the invariance property, the MLE of the standard deviation √σjj is
The MLE has some good asymptotic properties and usually performs well for data sets of large sample sizes. For example, under mild regularity conditions, MLE satisfies the property of consistency, which guarantees that the estimator converges to the true value of the parameter as the sample size becomes infinite. In addition, under certain regularity conditions, the MLE is asymptotically normal and efficient. That is, as the sample size becomes infinite, the distribution of MLE will converge to a normal distribution with variance equal to the optimal asymptotic variance. The details of the regularity conditions are beyond the scope of this book. But these conditions are quite general and often satisfied in common circumstances.
3.4 Hypothesis Testing on Mean Vectors
In this section, we study how to determine if the population mean μ is equal to a specific value μ0 when the observations follow a normal distribution. We start by reviewing the hypothesis testing results for univariate data. Suppose X1, X2,…, Xn are a random sample of independent univariate observations following the normal distribution N(μ, σ2). The test on μ is formulated as
where H0 is the null hypothesis and H1 is the (two-sided) alternative hypothesis. For this test, we use the following test statistic:
where X̄ is the sample mean
