Abstract
It is well known that anomalies are sometimes observed when using the likelihood ratio test (LRT) for testing restricted hypotheses in a normal model. This paper considers a general framework for these anomalies to occur. We provide a condition, that relates the null and the alternative hypotheses, under which the dominance of the LRT is obtained. Conditions are also given which guarantee the equivalence between the LRT and a simpler test. The situations of known and unknown variances are considered and examples are given to illustrate the results.
