Let $X$ be a single observation from the density $f(x) = (2θx + 1 − θ)I[0,1](x)$ with $−1≤ θ ≤ 1$. Find the most powerful test of size $α$ and its power

  • Find a most powerful test of size $?$ of $H_0 : ? = 0$ versus $H_1 : ? = 1$.
  • Find a uniformly most powerful test of size $?$ of $H_0 : ? = 0$ versus $H_1 : ? > 0$
  • To test $H_0: ? ? 0$ versus $H_1: ? > 0$, the following procedure was used: Reject $H_0$ if $X$ exceeds $1/2$. Find the power and size of this test.

    I feel the bounty is a little to low for this.

    I second that.

    Is this for only one observation (n=1) or for a general random sample of n observations?

    @Rage, this is a good question, yes the original question states let X be a single observation from the density. I will update the question to make this clear.

    Without that hypothesis the problem was too difficult!

    Hi, just checking on page 2, the derivative (h'(x)) should the second term be -2θb(2θax+1-2θa) instead of -2θ b(2θax+1-2θb)?

    Yes, there was a typo in the solution. The final result does not change, though. Let me add a new version.

The answer is accepted.
