摘要:
This note is introductory to the 2 papers by Hsu and Simaika immediately following. It traces the development of certain ideas involved in the testing of statistical hypotheses, starting from Neyman and Pearson''s conception of a uniformly most powerful test. When a test concerns the values of c [greater than or equal to] 2 parameters a fresh formulation of the requirements of a satisfactory test becomes necessary. Several lines of attack are open; one of these is that followed by Hsu and Simaika which makes the power of the test dependent on a single function, X, of the c population parameters. Out of tests, so dependent, it will often be possible to select the uniformly most powerful.
