Abstract
In the preceding chapter, the theoretical basis of estimation theory was presented. Now we turn our interest towards testing issues: we want to test the hypothesis H 0 that the unknown parameter θ belongs to some subspace of \(\mathbb {R}^{q}\). This subspace is called the null set and will be denoted by \(\Omega_{0} \subset \mathbb {R}^{q}\).
