Asymptotic Evaluations for Hypothesis Testing

The lesson describes a few methods for deriving some tests in complicated problems in which no optimal test (such as the uniformly most powerful test) exists or is known. In such situations, the…

Most Powerful Tests

A hypothesis test might make one of two types of errors. These two types of errors traditionally have been given the names "Type I Error," and "Type II Error." If the parameter…

Likelihood Ratio Tests

The likelihood ratio method of hypothesis testing is related to maximum likelihood estimators. Likelihood ratio tests are as widely used as maximum likelihood estimation. In this lesson, we provide…

Show a family of distributions of a statistic is complete

The two examples in this video illustrate how to show a family of distributions is complete. The first example uses the definition of complete. The second definition relies on the properties of…

Sufficient, Ancillary, and Complete: A Review

In data reduction, there are two key principles that play a role in ensuring the statistics being used are efficient in reducing the data and contain information that isn't misleading: those of…

Sufficiency and Unbiased

In the previous lesson on best unbiased estimators and the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound, the concept of sufficiency was not used. We will now consider how sufficiency is a powerful tool in our search for…

Data Reduction and Sufficiency

The information in a random sample is used to make inferences about an unknown parameter theta. If the sample size n is large, then the observed sample is a long list of numbers that is difficult, if…

Sums of Random Variables from a Random Sample

When a random sample is drawn, some summary of the values is usually computed. Any well-defined summary may be expressed mathematically as a function of an n-dimension vector. The domain of that…
