State and prove the Neyman-Pearson lemma.
A sample of two independent observations, , is taken from a distribution with density . It is desired to test against . Show that the best test of size can be expressed using the number such that
Is this the uniformly most powerful test of size for testing against
Suppose that the prior distribution of is , where . Find the test of against that minimizes the probability of error.
Let denote the power function of this test at . Show that
