Abstract
Chapter 14 serves as a natural extension of the preceding chapter, offering a comprehensive examination of the EM-test when applied to high-order null hypotheses within the finite mixture model. While certain aspects of the results align with those of the modified likelihood ratio test, the unique design of the EM-test enables a clear presentation of the limiting distribution. Importantly, this presentation comes with fewer restrictions on the finite mixture model, making it applicable to a wider range of scenarios, including general orders.
