Abstract

The paper proposes Wald statistic for testing homogeneity of parameters of k populations and gives the asymptotic expansion of the distribution function under a null hypothesis and of power function of it under contiguous alternatives. It shows that Wald statistic is the same as Nagao's statistic (1973) for testing homogeneity of covariance matrices of multivariate normal populations.
