State Wilks' Theorem on the asymptotic distribution of likelihood-ratio test statistics.
Suppose that are independent with common distribution, where the parameters and are both unknown. Find the likelihood-ratio test statistic for testing against unrestricted, and state its (approximate) distribution.
What is the form of the -test of against ? Explain why for large the likelihood-ratio test and the -test are nearly the same.
