4 The Setup Let (Ω, F, {F t } t 0, P) be a stochastic basis with usual assumptions. Consider heat equation driven by additive noise: du(t, x) θ U(t, x)dt = σ k=1 where x G, G is a bounded domain in R d, t [0, T ]; λ γ k h k(x)dw k (t), (0.1) θ > 0 is the parameter of interest; γ 0, σ R {0} are known. zero initial conditions and boundary values; {w k (t)} k N are independent Brownian motions; is the Laplace operator on G with zero boundary condition U = d j=1 2 U ; x 2 j {h k } are the eigenfunctions of in L 2 (G), and {ρ k } are the corresponding eigenvalues; λ k = ρ k k 1/d ; Ig. Cialenco, IIT March 17-20, 2015 Slide # 4

5 Existence of the solution Theorem (Existence and Uniqueness) If (γ s)/d > 1/2, then the SPDE (0.1) has a unique solution (weak in PDE sense, and strong in probability sense) U L 2 (Ω [0, T ]; H s+1 (G)) L 2 (Ω; C((0, T ); H s (G))). Ig. Cialenco, IIT March 17-20, 2015 Slide # 5

7 The Problem: Simple Hypothesis Hypothesis Testing Construction of the test du(t, x) θ U(t, x)dt = σ k=1 Assume that θ can take only two values {, θ 1 }. Consider a simple hypothesis: H 0 θ =, H 1 θ = θ 1. For simplicity, assume θ 1 > and σ > 0. λ γ k h k(x)dw k (t). Ig. Cialenco, IIT March 17-20, 2015 Slide # 7

8 Construction of the Test Hypothesis Testing Construction of the test du(t, x) θ U(t, x)dt = σ k=1 λ γ k h k(x)dw k (t), U(0, x) = 0. The k-th Fourier coefficient u k (t) = U(t, x), h k (x) is given by du k = θλ 2 k u kdt + σλ γ k dw k(t), u k (0) = 0, u k (t) = σλ γ k t 0 e θλ2 k (t s) dw k, k 1. Let P N,T θ ( ) = P(U N T ) be the measure on C([0, T ]; RN ) generated by U N T (t) = (u 1,..., u N ) up to time T. Ig. Cialenco, IIT March 17-20, 2015 Slide # 8

9 Construction of the test Observable: First N Fourier coefficients, for all t [0, T ], U N T = ((u 1 (t),..., u N (t)), t [0, T ]). In this case, the Likelihood Ratio has the form L(, θ 1, UT N ) = PN,T θ 1 P N,T θ 1 ( 0 = exp ( (θ 1 )σ 2 T N λ 2+2γ k k=1 u k (t)du k (t) (θ 1 + )λ 2 k and the Maximum Likelihood Estimator is 0 T u 2 k (t)dt)), θ N T = N k=1 λ2+2γ k N k=1 λ4+2γ k T 0 u k(t)du k (t) T 0 u2 k (t)dt, N N, T > 0. Ig. Cialenco, IIT March 17-20, 2015 Slide # 9

10 Construction of the test Two Asymptotic Regimes: Large times, T ; Large number of Fourier modes, N. Theorem Assume that 2γ > d. Then, lim θ T N N = lim T θn T = θ, a.e. and where M = N k=1 λ2 k. (4/d + 2)θ ϖσ 2 T ). lim N 1/d+ 1 2 ( θ T N θ) = d N (0, N T ( θn T θ) = d N (0, 2θ/M), lim T Ig. Cialenco, IIT March 17-20, 2015 Slide # 10

11 Construction of the test Looking for rejection region R B(C([0, T ]; R N )). Type I error = P N,T (R); Type II error = 1 P N,T θ 1 Define the class of test (R), and power of the test = P N,T θ 1 (R) K α = {R B(C([0, T ]; R N )) P N,T (R) α}. with α (0, 1) being the significant level, fixed in what follows. Definition We say that a rejection region R K α is the most powerful in the class K α if P N,T θ 1 (R) P N,T θ 1 (R ), for all R K α. Ig. Cialenco, IIT March 17-20, 2015 Slide # 11

12 Neyman-Pearson Lemma Hypothesis Testing Most Powerful Test Theorem (C. and Xu, 14) Let c α be a real number such that P N,T (L(, θ 1, U N T ) c α ) = α. Then, R = {U N T L(, θ 1, U N T ) c α }, is the most powerful rejection region in the class K α. Ig. Cialenco, IIT March 17-20, 2015 Slide # 12

13 The Difficulty: c α has no explicit formula for finite T and N. Ig. Cialenco, IIT March 17-20, 2015 Slide # 13

14 The Difficulty: c α has no explicit formula for finite T and N. We take/suggest an Asymptotic Method (1) Fix N, let T ; (2) Fix T, let N. Inspired by large times Asymptotic Method for finite dimensional ergodic diffusion processes developed by Kutoyants 74, and 04. In this talk we focus on case (2), asymptotics in number of Fourier modes; For case (1) see [CX 14]. Ig. Cialenco, IIT March 17-20, 2015 Slide # 13

15 umber of Fourier modes N Define a new class K α = {(R N ) N N R N B(C([0, T ]; R N ), lim sup P N,T (R N ) α}, N where T is fixed, and α is the Asymptotic Significant Level. Ig. Cialenco, IIT March 17-20, 2015 Slide # 14

16 umber of Fourier modes N Define a new class K α = {(R N ) N N R N B(C([0, T ]; R N ), lim sup P N,T (R N ) α}, N where T is fixed, and α is the Asymptotic Significant Level. Goal: We want to find a rejection region ( R N ) N N such that lim N P N,T ( R N ) = α. Ig. Cialenco, IIT March 17-20, 2015 Slide # 14

17 Attempt: We still try Likelihood Ratio test. Then, what is c α? P N,T = P N,T where (L(, θ 1, U N T ) c α (N)) XN Y N X N = 8θ 3 0 ln c α (N) T M(θ 2 1 θ0 2) + 2θ0 T M(θ 1 ) 2(θ 1 + ) N θ0 (θ 1 ) σ 2 2T M(θ 1 + ) ( k=1 2θ0 T Y N = σ T M M = N k=1 λ 2 k. N λ 2+γ k k=1 0 λ 2+2γ k u 2 σ2 k (T ) N), 2 u k dw k, (θ 1 )N 8θ0 T M(θ 1 + ), Ig. Cialenco, IIT March 17-20, 2015 Slide # 15

18 For δ R, by splitting argument, we get P N,T + P N,T (L(, θ 1, UT N ) c α (N)) P N,T (X N δ) Y N 8θ 3 0 ln c α (N) T M(θ 2 1 θ0 2) + 2θ0 T M(θ 1 ) 2(θ 1 + ) (θ 1 )N 8θ0 T M(θ 1 + ) δ. Take δ = N 1/2d, and deduce that P N,T (X N δ) 0, N. Use the fact that Y N d N (0, 1) as N, and find Reasonable candidate for the threshold constant ĉ α (N) = exp (θ 1 ) 2 T M 4 + (θ 1 ) 2 N 8θ 2 0 T M(θ 2 1 θ0 2 ) q α 8θ 3 0. Ig. Cialenco, IIT March 17-20, 2015 Slide # 16

19 Theorem (C. and Xu) Suppose R N = {U N T L(, θ 1, U N T ) ĉ α (N)}, for all N, where ĉ α is given above. Then, the rejection region ( R N ) N N K α, and moreover lim N PN,T ( R N ) = α. Ig. Cialenco, IIT March 17-20, 2015 Slide # 17

20 The Next Question: Is ( R N ) N N (asymptotically) the most powerful test in K α? Ig. Cialenco, IIT March 17-20, 2015 Slide # 18

21 The Next Question: Is ( R N ) N N (asymptotically) the most powerful test in K α? Short answer: No! Ig. Cialenco, IIT March 17-20, 2015 Slide # 18

22 The Next Question: Is ( R N ) N N (asymptotically) the most powerful test in K α? Short answer: No! How does the power of this test P N,T θ 1 ( R N ) behave? Definition We say that a rejection region (R N ) K α is asymptotically the most powerful in the class K α if 1 P N,T θ lim inf 1 (R N ) N 1 P N,T θ 1 (RN ) 1, for all (R N) Kα. Similarly, we define asymptotically the most powerful rejection regions for a different given class of tests. Ig. Cialenco, IIT March 17-20, 2015 Slide # 18

23 Theorem (C. and Xu) (Criterion for Most Powerful Test) Consider the rejection region of the form R N = {U N T L(, θ 1, U N T ) c α(n)}, where c α(n) is a function of N such that, c α(n) > 0 for all N N, and lim N PN,T (R N) = α, lim N c α(n) 1 P N,T θ 1 (R N ) <. Then (R N ) is asymptotically the most powerful in K α. Is the test R N asymptotically the most powerful in the class K α? We need to control the power of the test P N,T θ 1 ( R N ), as N. Ig. Cialenco, IIT March 17-20, 2015 Slide # 19

If N N 0 (N 0 has explicit formula), then the Type I and Type II errors have the following bound estimates P N,T (RN 0 ) (1 + ϱ)α, 1 P N,T θ 1 (RN 0 ) (1 + ϱ) exp ( (θ 1 ) 2 16θ0 2 MT ), where ϱ denotes a given threshold of error tolerance.
