摘要
We derive likelihood ratio tests for the equality of the directional parameters of k bipolar Watson distributions defined on the hypersphere with common concentration parameter. We analyze the power of these tests in the case of two distributions supposing in the alternative hypothesis two directional parameters forming an angle, which varies from 18 degrees to 90 degrees. We also compare the likelihood ratio tests with a high-concentration F-test.
