Document Type : Original Article

Abstract

In the presence of nuisance parameters the local power of tests for testing a simple hypothesis against one sided alternatives will be defined. In the case of a bivariate normal distribution with known correlation coefficient the local power will be derived for any symmetric test. In particular, it will be obtained for several combination methods.
