Abstract
A limiting distribution of the likelihood ratio statistic for the test of the equality of the q smallest eigenvalues of a covariance matrix is obtained. This distribution can be used as an alternative to the chi-squared distribution which is usually used with this test. It is shown that this new method yields reasonable significance levels for those situations in which the chi-squared approximation is inadequate.
