Let X1, X2, X3, X4 denote 4 independent observations from a distribution with density f(x;theta)=(1+theta)x^theta, if 0<=x<=1; 0 Otherwise.. What is the form of the LRT critical regoon for testing H0:theta =2 versus H1:theta=5

Solutions

Expert Solution

here,

Now, we are interested in testing the null hypothesis against the alternative hypothesis

Now, to find the likelihood ratio, as defined above, we first need to find . Well, when the null hypothesis is true, can take on only one value, namely, . Therefore:

We also need to find in order to define the likelihood ratio. Well, when the alternate hypothesis is true, can take on only one value, namely, .  Therefore:

Now, putting it all together to form the likelihood ratio, we get:

which simplifies to:

Now, the likelihood ratio test tells us to reject the null hypothesis when the likelihood ratio λ is small, that is, when:

where k is chosen to ensure that, in this case, α = 0.05. Well, by taking the natural log of both sides of the inequality, we can show that λ ≤ k is equivalent to:

Now, as are independent observations, thus,

This distribution can be used to obtained the value of C at a given level of significance.
