Find the structure of a generalized likelihood ratio test


1 ) Consider a binary hypothesis testing problem in which a scalar observation Y is uniformly distributed between a and b under hypothesis 0 and is exponentially distributed with mean 1/λ under hypothesis 1.

Let a = -1, b = 2. and λ = 0.5

Assuming uniform cost assignment (LICA), obtain the Bayes decision rule for equally likely hypotheses. Also, calculate the Bayes risk.

2) Consider a composite binary hypothesis-testing problem with

            θe-θy   if y ≥ 0
Pθ(Y) =
            0         if y < 0

a) For α ∈ (0,1). show that a UMP test of level-α exists for the following problem

H0 : θ ∈ [1,3)    (2)
H1: θ ∈ [3, ∞) (3)

Please express this UMP test as a function of α.

b) Find the structure of a generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) for the hypotheses in part (a).
