Question:

For the test described in Exercise 6.3.5, obtain the distribution of the test statistic under general alternatives. If computational facilities are available, sketch this power curve for the case when θ0 = 1, n = 10, μ = 0, and α = 0.05.

Exercise 6.3.5

Let X1,X2, . . . , Xn be a random sample from a N(μ0, σ2 = θ) distribution, where 0 < θ < ∞and μ0 is known. Show that the likelihood ratio test of H0 : θ = θ0 versus H1 : θ ≠ θ0 can be based upon the statistic W = Σni=1(Xi − μ0)20. Determine the null distribution of W and give, explicitly, the rejection rule for a level α test.
