Let $X$ have a Poisson distribution with mean $\theta$. Find the sequential probability ratio test for testing $H_{0}: \theta=0.02$ against. $H_{1}: \theta=0.07$. Show that this test can be based upon the statistic $\sum_{1}^{n} X_{i}$. If $\alpha_{a}=0.20$ and $\beta_{a}=0.10$, find $c_{0}(n)$ and $c_{1}(n)$

Key Concepts

Sequential Probability Ratio Test

The Sequential Probability Ratio Test (SPRT) is a statistical procedure that evaluates data as it is collected rather than after a fixed sample size is reached. It involves comparing the likelihood ratio of observed data under two hypotheses to two predetermined boundaries that control Type I and Type II errors. This test continues sampling until a decision is reached—either accepting one hypothesis or continuing data collection—thereby optimizing the sample size needed for a decision.

Poisson Distribution

A Poisson Distribution models the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space provided that these events occur with a known constant mean rate and independently of the time since the last event. In hypothesis testing, especially in cases like this, the Poisson model defines the likelihood function under different parameter values, which is essential for constructing tests like the SPRT.

Likelihood Ratio

The likelihood ratio is a key element in hypothesis testing as it quantifies how much more likely the observed data is under one hypothesis compared to another. In the context of the SPRT, this ratio is computed sequentially and is used to decide whether to accept the null hypothesis, accept the alternative hypothesis, or continue observing additional data until one of the predefined decision thresholds is reached.

Sufficient Statistic

A sufficient statistic is a function of the sample data that contains all necessary information for making inferences about a parameter. For independent Poisson observations, the sum of the observations serves as a sufficient statistic for the mean parameter. This property simplifies the SPRT by allowing the test to be based solely on the cumulative sum rather than needing the entire sample data for each decision.
