Abstract
The comparison of multivariate populations has been involved in many fields. For example, in testing the efficiency of a new cure, we would compare it with the usual treatment. In this work, we investigate the problem of testing the equality of distribution of two populations. We combine the characteristic functions and empirical likelihood approach. It has been proved that the test statistic tends to a chi-square distribution. Simulation studies are presented to study the finite-sample performance of our method. A real data set is analyzed to illustrate our method.
