Hypothesis testing and information theory
The testing of binary hypotheses is developed from an information-theoretic point of view, and the asymptotic per formance of opt imum hypothesis testers is developed in exact analogy to the asymptotic per formance of opt imum channel codes. The discrimination, introduced by Kullback, is developed in a role analogous to that of mutual information iu channel coding theory. Based on the discrimin...
متن کاملHYPOTHESIS TESTING FOR AN EXCHANGEABLE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
Consider an exchangeable normal vector with parameters ????2, and ?. On the basis of a vector observation some tests about these parameters are found and their properties are discussed. A simulation study for these tests and a few nonparametric tests are presented. Some advantages and disadvantages of these tests are discussed and a few applications are given.
متن کاملStatistical Hypothesis Testing and Private Information∗
This paper provides a rationalization for using classical one-sided hypothesis tests for approving innovations, such as new drugs or treatment programs. I consider statistical testing as a strategy of the regulator in a game against informed proponents who can profit from the regulator’s acceptance decision even for ineffective innovations. Lower test size deters proponents from attempting cost...
متن کاملLINEAR HYPOTHESIS TESTING USING DLR METRIC
Several practical problems of hypotheses testing can be under a general linear model analysis of variance which would be examined. In analysis of variance, when the response random variable Y , has linear relationship with several random variables X, another important model as analysis of covariance can be used. In this paper, assuming that Y is fuzzy and using DLR metric, a method for testing ...
متن کاملHypothesis Testing, Information Divergence and Computational Geometry
In this paper, we consider the Bayesian multiple hypothesis testing problem from the stance of computational geometry. We first recall that the probability of error of the optimal decision rule, the maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) criterion, is related to both the total variation and the Chernoff statistical distances. We then consider the exponential family manifolds, and show that the ...
