Deriving tight results for sample complexity in binary hypothesis testing.
Abstrak
The content delves into the sample complexity of simple binary hypothesis testing, focusing on Bayesian and prior-free settings. It introduces key concepts, such as likelihood ratio tests and f-divergences, to analyze error probabilities and sample complexities. The relationship between the two types of hypothesis testing is explored, highlighting the importance of understanding sample complexity bounds.
