Journal ArticleDOI
A Measure of Asymptotic Efficiency for Tests of a Hypothesis Based on the sum of Observations
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the likelihood ratio test for fixed sample size can be reduced to this form, and that for large samples, a sample of size $n$ with the first test will give about the same probabilities of error as a sample with the second test.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Use of Faces to Represent Points in k- Dimensional Space Graphically
TL;DR: Every multivariate observation is visualized as a computer-drawn face that makes it easy for the human mind to grasp many of the essential regularities and irregularities present in the data.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Distribution of the Likelihood Ratio
TL;DR: In this paper, the asymptotic distribution of the likelihood ratio λ is examined when the value of the parameter is a boundary point of both the set of points corresponding to the hypothesis and the set corresponding to an alternative.
Journal ArticleDOI
Locally Optimal Designs for Estimating Parameters
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that locally optimal designs for large numbers of experiments can be approximated by selecting a certain set of randomized experiments and by repeating each of these randomized experiments in certain specified proportions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Use of Maximum Likelihood Estimates in {\chi^2} Tests for Goodness of Fit
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the test statistic does not have a limiting χ2-distribution, but that it is stochastically larger than would be expected under the χ 2 theory.
