Abstract
Recall the setup used at the beginning of Chapter 3. We had a probability space (S,A,μ) and a function V : S → V. One example of V is the parameter Θ. Other examples are measurable functions of Θ. Other V functions, which are not functions of Θ, are possible but are rarely seen in classical statistics. This is true to a greater extent in hypothesis testing for reasons that will become more apparent once we study the criteria used for selecting tests in classical statistics.
