INFT 973/CSI 973 Mathematical Statistics II

(3:3:0). Prerequisite: INFT 972. Continuation of INFT 972. Concentrates on the theory of hypothesis testing. Topics include characterizing the decision process, simple versus simple hypothesis tests, Neyman-Pearson Lemma, uniformly most powerful tests, unbiasedness of tests, invariance of tests, randomized tests, and sequential tests. Applications of the testing principles will be made to situations in the normal distribution family and to other families of distributions.
