Testing hypotheses with estimated scores
利用估计得分进行假设检验
A method is proposed for testing hypotheses that is very much in the spirit of expected maximum log likelihood estimation and bears much the same relation to it as the likelihood ratio test methodology does to maximum likelihood estimation. For a single test parameter, the method amounts to basing critical regions on the difference between the estimated score and its expectation. In some cases where a sufficient statistic, independent of the test parameter, exists for the…
