What is the critical region of a test of the null hypothesis against the alternative ? What is the size of a test with critical region What is the power function of a test with critical region ?
State and prove the Neyman-Pearson Lemma.
If are independent with distribution, and , find the form of the most powerful size- test of against . Find the power function as explicitly as you can, and prove that it is increasing in . Deduce that the test you have constructed is a size- test of against .
