Popis: Let S be a pxp random matrix having a Wishart distribution W"p(n,n^-^1@S). For testing a general covariance structure @S=@S(@x), we consider a class of test statistics T"h=n@r"h(S,@S(@x@?)), where @r"h(@S"1,@S"2)=@?"i"="1^ph(@l"i) is a distance measure from @S"1 to @S"2, @l"i's are the eigenvalues of @S"1@S"2^-^1, and h is a given function with certain properties. Wakaki, Eguchi and Fujikoshi (1990) suggested this class and gave an asymptotic expansion of the null distribution of T"h. This paper gives an asymptotic expansion of the non-null distribution of T"h under a sequence of alternatives. By using results, we derive the power, and compare the power asymptotically in the class. In particular, we investigate the power of the sphericity tests.
