Abstract
Likelihood ratio tests for hypotheses on relationships between two population covariance matrices Sigma 1 and Sigma 2 are derived on the basis of the sample covariance matrices having Wishart distributions. The specific hypotheses considered are (1) Sigma 2 = sigma 2 Sigma 1, (2) Sigma 2 = gamma + sigma 2 Sigma 1, (3) Sigma 2 = gamma + Sigma 1 where gamma may be n.n.d. or arbitrary and the rank of gamma is less than that of Sigma 1. Some applications of these tests are given.
