Abstract
The test procedures, invariant under certain groups of transformations [4], for testing a set of multivariate linear hypotheses in the linear normal model depend on the characteristic roots of a random matrix. The power function of such a test depends on the characteristic roots of a corresponding population matrix as parameters; these roots may be regarded as measures of deviation from the hypothesis tested. In this paper sufficient conditions on the procedure for the power function to be a monotonically increasing function of each of the parameters are obtained. The likelihood-ratio test [1], Lawley-Hotelling trace test [1], and Roy's maximum root test [6] satisfy these conditions. The monotonicity of the power function of Roy's test has been shown by Roy and Mikhail [5] using a geometrical method.
