Under hypothesis Hi(i=0,1), a real-valued observable X, taking values in X, has density function pi(⋅). Define the Type I error α and the Type II error β of a test ϕ:X→[0,1] of the null hypothesis H0 against the alternative hypothesis H1. What are the size and power of the test in terms of α and β ?
Show that, for 0<c<∞,ϕ minimises cα+β among all possible tests if and only if it satisfies
p1(x)>cp0(x)⇒ϕ(x)=1p1(x)<cp0(x)⇒ϕ(x)=0
What does this imply about the admissibility of such a test?
Given the value θ of a parameter variable Θ∈[0,1), the observable X has density function
p(x∣θ)=(1−θ)22(x−θ)(θ⩽x⩽1)
For fixed θ∈(0,1), describe all the likelihood ratio tests of H0:Θ=0 against Hθ:Θ=θ.
For fixed k∈(0,1), let ϕk be the test that rejects H0 if and only if X⩾k. Is ϕk admissible as a test of H0 against Hθ for every θ∈(0,1) ? Is it uniformly most powerful for its size for testing H0 against the composite hypothesis H1:Θ∈(0,1) ? Is it admissible as a test of H0 against H1 ?
