In this paper, we further develop the approach, originating in [GJN], to "computation-friendly" hypothesis testing via Convex Programming. Most of the existing results on hypothesis testing aim to quantify in a closed analytic form…

E-values have recently emerged as a robust and flexible alternative to p-values for hypothesis testing, especially under optional continuation, i.e., when additional data from further experiments are collected. In this work, we define…

This essay is divided in four parts: In section (I) I explain why I think detecting hot-spots in verification is complicated and in particular, more complicated than detection when developing crude software. In section (II) I introduce the…
