Robust Testing in Generalized Linear Models by Sign Flipping Score Contributions

Abstract: Summary Generalized linear models are often misspecified because of overdispersion, heteroscedasticity and ignored nuisance variables. Existing quasi‐likelihood methods for testing in misspecified models often do not provide satisfactory type I error rate control. We provide a novel semiparametric test, based on sign flipping individual score contributions. The parameter tested is allowed to be multi‐dimensional and even high dimensional. Our test is often robust against the mentioned forms of misspecification… Show more

“…The test BM from Bühlmann [37] had higher power than the permutation methods in this specific setting, but was anti-conservative for small α. In the simulations underlying Table 9, we did not use sign-flipping, which is known to be robust to heteroscedasticity [12,13]. Surprisingly, our tests nevertheless provided appropriate type I control.…”

“…Permutation tests can be robust to violations of the standard linear model, such as nonnormality and heteroscedasticity [12,13]. The power of parametric methods is often substantially decreased when the residuals have heavy tails.…”

“…A number of invariance-based randomization based tests have been developed for linear and generalized linear models (Freedman and Lane, 1983;Perry and Owen, 2010;Winkler et al, 2014;Hemerik et al, 2020a). The works by Anderson and Legendre (1999); Winkler et al (2014) review and compare a number of previously proposed permutation methods for inference in linear models with nuisance parameters.…”
