Abstract

The minimax hypothesis-testing problem is considered. Let H0: f=f0≡1 and H1 consist of smooth densities. It is shown that the optimal, in the minimax sense, order of distinguishing is attained by a procedure based on simultaneous use ofχ 2-tests corresponding to the growing number of intervals of grouping of the sample. Bibliography: 16 titles.
