(a) Suppose that are independent identically distributed random variables, each with density for some unknown . Use the generalised likelihood ratio to obtain a size test of against .
(b) A die is loaded so that, if is the probability of face , then , and . The die is thrown times and face is observed times. Write down the likelihood function for and find the maximum likelihood estimate of .
Consider testing whether or not for this die. Find the generalised likelihood ratio statistic and show that
where you should specify and in terms of . Explain how to obtain an approximate size test using the value of . Explain what you would conclude (and why ) if .
