Neyman-Pearson lemma
|
In statistics, the Neyman-Pearson lemma states that when doing a hypothesis test between two point hypotheses H0: θ=θ0 and H1: θ=θ1, then the likelihood-ratio test which rejects H0 in favour of H1 when
- <math>\Lambda(x)=\frac{ L( \theta _{0} \mid x)}{ L (\theta _{1} \mid x)} \leq k \mbox{ where } Pr(\Lambda(X)\leq k|H_0)=\alpha<math>
