Moderate deviation theorem for the Neyman-Pearson statistic in testing uniformity

Statistics Theory 2020-03-27 v1 Statistics Theory

Abstract

We show that for local alternatives to uniformity which are determined by a sequence of square integrable densities the moderate deviation (MD) theorem for the corresponding Neyman-Pearson statistic does not hold in the full range for all unbounded densities. We give a sufficient condition under which MD theorem holds. The proof is based on Mogulskii's inequality.
