Abstract
A number of examples which involve restricted alternatives are given; each of these, except one, deals with normal distributions. The examples demonstrate the following: (a) one way to construct a simple test when the alternative hypothesis is restricted, (b) a method by which the additional restrictions can be justified, and (c) a procedure that can be used to defend the original model. An interesting relationship between Bartholomew's and a test statistic, which is used in this paper, is pointed out. Finally, a certain distribution-free problem and a solution of it are proposed.
