Hoeffding Test and Divergence Tests Analysis

Belangrijkste concepten

Divergence tests achieve first-order optimality but not second-order optimality compared to Neyman-Pearson test.

Statistieken

2nDKL(PZn∥P) converges to a chi-square random variable with k-1 degrees of freedom.
For α-divergences and KL divergence, (39) holds with δn = 1/√n.
