Abstract

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we deal with the hypothesis testing problems for the univariate linear calibration, where a normally distributed response variable and an explanatory variable are involved, and the observations of the response variable corresponding to known values of the explanatory variable are used for making inferences concerning a single unknown value of the explanatory variable. The uniformly most powerful unbiased tests for both one-sided and two-sided hypotheses are constructed and verified. The power behaviour of the proposed tests is numerically compared with that of the existing method, and simulations show that the proposed tests make the powers improved.
