question 21

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is the correct test statistic for a likelihood ratio test?

• A) \(G=\ln \left(\frac{L\left[\text { parameter value for } H_{0} \mid \text { data }\right]}{L[\text { max. likelihood value for parameter } \mid \text { data }]}\right)\)
• B) \(G=\ln \left(\frac{L[\text { max. likelihood value for parameter|data }]}{L\left[\text { parameter value for } H_{0} \mid \text { data }\right]}\right)\)
• C) \(G=2 \ln \left(\frac{L\left[\text { parameter value for } H_{0} \mid \text { data }\right]}{L[\text { max, tikel thood value for parameteridata }]}\right)\)
• D) \(G=2 \ln \left(\frac{L[\text { max. likelihood value for parameter } \mid \text { data }]}{L\left[\text { parameter value for } H_{0} \mid \text { data }\right]}\right)\)
