• A more <strong>in</strong>volved example of a strong CI. Suppose<br />

we have two <strong>in</strong>dependent samples: 1 ∼<br />

( 2 )and 1 ∼ ( 2 ); def<strong>in</strong>e =<br />

− . Put =( 2 2 ) (nuisance parameter)<br />

and let ˆ 2 and ˆ 2 bethesamplevariances. An<br />

asymptotic level 2-sided test ( →∞; put<br />

= + ) has acceptance region<br />
