On the existence of powerful p-values and e-values for composite hypotheses
复合假设下有检验能力的p值与e值的存在性
Given a composite null P and composite alternative Q, when and how can we construct a p-value whose distribution is exactly uniform under the null, and stochastically smaller than uniform under the alternative? Similarly, when and how can we construct an e-value whose expectation exactly equals one under the null, but its expected logarithm under the alternative is positive? We answer these basic questions, and other related ones, when P and Q are convex polytopes (in the…
