Fixed-α and fixed-βefficiencies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 February 2013
Abstract
Consider testingH0 : F ∈ ω0against H1 : F ∈ ω1for a random sampleX1, ..., Xnfrom F, where ω0 andω1 are two disjoint sets of cdfs onℝ = (−∞, ∞). Two non-local types of efficiencies, referred to as thefixed-α and fixed-β efficiencies, are introduced forthis two-hypothesis testing situation. Theoretical tools are developed to evaluate theseefficiencies for some of the most usual goodness of fit tests (including theKolmogorov–Smirnov tests). Numerical comparisons are provided using several examples.
