Statistical Tests
In the previous class we introduced hypothesis testing, and discussed how to set the critical value of a test. Here, we will discuss the selection of the test itself.
There are three main test statistics used in hypothesis testing. We will discuss their optimality later. The test statistics are
- Likelihood Ratio
- Lagrange Multiplier
- Wald Test
All of these tests reject when [math]T\left(X_{1}..X_{n}\right)\gt c[/math], where [math]T[/math] is the test statistic and [math]c[/math] is the critical value.
