Abstract

The local behavior of the power of weighted χ2-tests and Bayes tests is studied for simple null hypothesis in Gaussian shift experiments. A second order expansion of the power function is given. This expansion provides a shrinking family of ellipsoids (δE)0<δ<1 so that the power of the weighted χ2-test is locally constant on the boundary ∂(δE). Approximating the weighted χ2-test by a sequence of Bayes tests with priors on ∂(δE), the weighted χ2-test is shown to be locally maximin in the sense of Giri and Kiefer for the family of restricted alternatives given by the complements of the (δE)0<δ<1.
