4. Methods of Evaluating Tests
(1) Powerfulness
(2) Unbiasedness and Invariancy
(3) Local Powerfulness
In order to examine some of these criteria, some terminologies such as error probabilities,
power functions, type I error, and type II error
are needed .

5. Definition
Let 𝐻 0 : 𝜃∈ Ω 0 and 𝐻 𝑎 : 𝜃∉ Ω 0 be the null and alternative hypothesis to be tested based on a random sample X1,X2, ...,Xn from a population X with density f(x; 𝜃), where 𝜃 is a parameter. The significance level of the hypothesis test
𝐻 0 : 𝜃∈ Ω 0 and 𝐻 𝑎 : 𝜃∉ Ω 0
denotes by 𝛼, is defined as
𝛼=P (Type I Error)

6. This is also equivalent to
The significance level of a hypothesis test we mean the probability of rejecting a true null hypothesis, that is
𝛼=P (Reject H 0 | H 0 is True)
This is also equivalent to
𝛼=P (Accept H a | H 0 is True)

7. β=P (Accept H 0 | H 0 is flase)
Definition

𝐻 0 : 𝜃∈ Ω 0 and 𝐻 𝑎 : 𝜃∉ Ω 0
denotes by β, is defined as
β=P (Accept H 0 | H 0 is flase)

8. β=P (Accept H 0 / H a is false)
This is also equivalent to
β=P (Accept H 0 / H a is false)
