摘要 | When testing a hypothesis with a nuisance parameter present only under the alternative, the maximum of a test statistic over the nuisance parameter space has been proposed. Different upper bounds for the one-sided tail probabilities of the maximum tests were provided. Davies (1977. Biometrika 64, 247-254) studied the problem when the parameter space is an interval, while Efron (1997. Biometrika 84, 143-157) considered the problem with some finite points of the parameter space and obtained a W-formula. We study the limiting bound of Efron's W-formula when the number of points in the parameter space goes to infinity. The conditions under which the limiting bound of the W-formula is identical to that of Davies are given. The results are also extended to two-sided tests. Examples are used to illustrate the conditions, including case-control genetic association studies. Efficient calculations of upper bounds for the tail probability with finite points in the parameter space are described. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |
