6.2. 2he lambda-max and trace tests for linear restrictions

Theorems 4 and 5 suggest to use the maximum solution, or the sum ,Tm(H), say, of all
solutions, of eigenvalue problem (31) as a basis for a test of the null hypothesis (29). We
only discuss the trace test in detail, as the asymptotic properties of the lambda-max tests can
be derived along similar lines as for the trace test.

It follows straightforwardly from Theorems 4 and 5 that under the null hypothesis
(29),
