Let x_(1),dots,x_(n) be independent and identically distributed N(0,sigma ^(2))
random variables where sigma ^(2) is an unknown parameter.
(a) Explain the term uniformly most powerful (UMP) critical region
and state (without proof) the Neyman-Pearson conditions for
the existence of UMP critical region.
(b) Derive a UMP critical region for testing H_(0):sigma ^(2)=sigma _(0)^(2) versus
H_(1):sigma ^(2)>sigma _(0)^(2). You may use the result of Question 2 (b) without
proof.
(c) Is there a UMP critical region for testing H_(0):sigma ^(2)=sigma _(0)^(2) versus
H_(1):sigma ^(2)!=sigma _(0)^(2) ? Explain your answer.
Let X,...,Xn be independent and identically distributed N (0, random variables where o2 is an unknown parameter.
and state (without proof) the Neyman-Pearson conditions for the existence of UMP critical region.
(b) Derive a UMP critical region for testing Ho : o2 = o? versus H1 : o2 > o?. You may use the result of Question 2 (b) without proof.
(c) Is there a UMP critical region for testing Ho : o2 = o? versus H, : o2 / o2? Explain your answer.
