Abstract

Consider testing the null hypothesis that a cumulative distribution function (cdf) belongs to a given set of cdfs versus the alternative that it belongs to another disjoint set of cdfs. A non-local efficiency is introduced for this testing situation. Its performance is assessed by developing theoretical tools and numerical examples.
