Likelihood Ratio Tests

Math 541: statistical Theory IILikelihood Ratio TestsInstructor: Songfeng ZhengA very popular form of hypothesis test is the Likelihood Ratio test, which is a generalization ofthe optimal test for simple null and alternative hypotheses that was developed by Neymanand Pearson (We skipped Neyman-Pearson lemma because we are short of time). Thelikelihood Ratio test is based on the Likelihood functionfn(X 1, , Xn| ), and the intuitionthat the Likelihood function tends to be highest near the true value of . Indeed, this is alsothe foundation for maximum Likelihood estimation. We will start from a very simple The Simplest Case: Simple HypothesesLet us first consider the simple hypotheses in which both the null hypothesis and alternativehypothesis consist one value of the parameter. SupposeX1, , Xnis a random sample ofsizenfrom an exponential distributionf(x| ) =1 e x/ ;x >0 Conduct the following simple hypothesis testing problem:H0: = 0vs.
