This study introduces a new statistical method for analyzing mixture data from three populations. The pairwise rank-based likelihood approach provides reliable estimation and inference for mixture proportions, showing satisfactory performance in simulations.

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Biostatistics
  • Nonparametric Statistics

Background:

  • The two-sample problem is fundamental in statistical inference.
  • Analyzing data from a mixture of populations presents unique challenges.
  • Existing methods may not adequately handle unspecified relationships between populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a robust method for estimating mixture parameters using data from three populations.
  • To enable simultaneous inference on mixture proportion and relative distribution probabilities.
  • To apply the methodology to real-world data, such as in prostate cancer research.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a general nonparametric model.
  • Construction of a pairwise rank-based likelihood.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed pairwise rank likelihood estimator is shown to be consistent.
    • The estimator demonstrates an asymptotic normal distribution under regularity conditions.
    • Simulation studies confirm the satisfactory performance of the developed statistic.

    Conclusions:

    • The pairwise rank-based likelihood offers a powerful tool for mixture analysis in two-sample problems.
    • The method provides reliable estimation and inference for mixture proportions.
    • The approach is validated through simulations and demonstrated on prostate cancer data.
