Karlin-Rubin Theorem
In some cases, it is straightforward to derive the UMP test.
The Karlin-Rubin theorem states that the UMP level [math]\alpha[/math] test exists for one-sided testing,
[math]H_{0}:\theta\leq\theta_{0}[/math] vs. [math]H_{1}:\theta\gt \theta_{0}[/math]
if [math]f\left(\left.X\right|\theta\right)[/math] belongs to the exponential family and [math]\omega\left(\theta\right)[/math] is monotone (i.e., the pdf/pmf satisfies the monotone likelihood ratio property).
In this case, we reject [math]H_{0}[/math] when [math]\sum_{i=1}^{n}t\left(X_{i}\right)[/math] is large.
