Abstract

The present paper is concerned with the power function of the classical tests associated with the normal distribution. Proofs of Hsu, Simaika, and Wald are simplified in a general manner applicable to other tests involving the normal distribution. The set theoretic structure of several tests is characterized. A simple proof of the stringency of the classical test of a linear hypothesis is given.
