TLDR
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.Abstract:
In many cases an optimum or computationally convenient test of a simple hypothesis $H_0$ against a simple alternative $H_1$ may be given in the following form. Reject $H_0$ if $S_n = \sum^n_{j=1} X_j \leqq k,$ where $X_1, X_2, \cdots, X_n$ are $n$ independent observations of a chance variable $X$ whose distribution depends on the true hypothesis and where $k$ is some appropriate number. In particular the likelihood ratio test for fixed sample size can be reduced to this form. It is shown that with each test of the above form there is associated an index $\rho$. If $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ are the indices corresponding to two alternative tests $e = \log \rho_1/\log \rho_2$ measures the relative efficiency of these tests in the following sense. For large samples, a sample of size $n$ with the first test will give about the same probabilities of error as a sample of size $en$ with the second test. To obtain the above result, use is made of the fact that $P(S_n \leqq na)$ behaves roughly like $m^n$ where $m$ is the minimum value assumed by the moment generating function of $X - a$. It is shown that if $H_0$ and $H_1$ specify probability distributions of $X$ which are very close to each other, one may approximate $\rho$ by assuming that $X$ is normally distributed.read more

Improved Average-Case Lower Bounds for DeMorgan Formula Size
TL;DR: An explicit function h is given such that every deMorgan formula of size n3-o(1)/r2 agrees with h on at most a fraction of 1/2+2-Ω(r) of the inputs, which improves the previous average-case lower bound of Komargodski and Raz (STOC, 2013).
