The Neyman-Pearson lemma for convex expectations

Probability 2019-12-11 v2

Abstract

We study the Neyman-Pearson problem for convex expectations on L^{\infty}(\mu). The existence of the optimal test is given. Without assuming that the level sets of penalty functions are weakly compact, we prove that the optimal tests for convex expectations on L^{\infty}(\mu) are just the classical Neyman-Pearson tests between a fixed representative pair of simple hypotheses. Then we show that the Neyman-Pearson problem for convex expectations on L^{1}(\mu) can be solved similarly.
