Give a $z$ statistic for testing $H_0: \mathbf{a}^\top \boldsymbol{\theta} = 0$, where $\mathbf{a}$ is an $m \times 1$ non-zero vector of constants. Start with the asymptotic distribution of $\mathbf{a}^\top \widehat{\boldsymbol{\theta}}_n$. Your final answer is a formula for $z$. \textbf{Circle the formula}. \newpage %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \item (2 points) Starting with your answer to Question \ref{ztest}, show that for $H_0: \mathbf{a}^\top \boldsymbol{\theta} = h$, the Wald test statistic is $W_n = z^2$. \vspace{170mm} \item (3 points) \label{R} In Question 3 of this week's assignment, you calculated a 95\% confidence interval for the quantity $2\alpha-\beta$, where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ were the parameters of a beta distribution. Your answer was a set of two numbers, the lower confidence limit and the upper confidence limit. \emph{Write the numbers in the space below.} \vspace{15mm} On your printout, circle the numbers and write ``Question~\ref{R}" beside them. \emph{Do not answer this question if you do not have a printout.} \end{enumerate} % End of Quiz questions \noindent \textbf{Please attach your printout to the quiz paper. The printout should show your \emph{complete} R input and output.} Make sure your name and student number appear on the printout. \end{document}
