Abstract:

In this study we consider the ratio of the maximized likelihood and Vuong test in choosing between the two distributions. Values of the probability of correct selection are obtained by Monte Carlo simulation. This method provides some basis for decision even when the sample size is small. The sleep apnea data has been analyzed.
