New statistical method enables finite-sample testing of trade-off functions

Researchers have developed a new method for testing trade-off functions derived from two unknown probability distributions. The approach identifies a precise condition under which this testing becomes feasible, relying on the attainability of Neyman-Pearson rejection regions by a specific class of measurable sets. This framework establishes that a finite Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension of this set class is both necessary and sufficient for effective finite-sample testing, providing a test with non-asymptotic error guarantees and simultaneous confidence bands for the trade-off curve.

    When Are Trade-Off Functions Testable from Finite Samples?

    We study finite-sample inference for the trade-off function of two unknown probability distributions, the function that traces the optimal type I/type II error frontier in binary testing. Given samples from distributions $P$ and $Q$, we consider the problem of testing whether the…
