The Distribution of the Maximum Likelihood Estimator in Invariant Gaussian Graphical Models and its Application to Likelihood Ratio Tests

  • The distribution of the maximum likelihood estimator of the covariance matrix in a class of invariant Gaussian graphical models is determined and seen to belong to the class of generalized Riesz distributions. For testing two nested models, the distribution of the likelihood ratio statistic under the null hypothesis is shown to be of Box type, so that accurate approximation techniques are applicable.
