A NEW COMPUTATIONAL APPROACH FOR TESTING EQUALITY OF INVERSE GAUSSIAN MEANS UNDER HETEROGENEITY
In this article, a testing procedure based on computational approachtest is proposed for the equality of several inverse Gaussian means underheterogeneity. Not requiring the knowledge of any sampling distribution, depending heavily on numerical computations and Monte Carlosimulation, moreover, figuring out the critical region automatically arethe advantages of the computational approach test. We compare it withsome of the existing tests; the parametric bootstrap and the generalizedtest variables in terms of type I risks and powers by using Monte Carlosimulation.
