Abstract EN
An asymptotic test and an approximate test for the reciprocal of a normal mean with a known coefficient of variation were proposed in this paper.
The asymptotic test was based on the expectation and variance of the estimator of the reciprocal of a normal mean.
The approximate test used the approximate expectation and variance of the estimator by Taylor series expansion.
A Monte Carlo simulation study was conducted to compare the performance of the two statistical tests.
Simulation results showed that the two proposed tests performed well in terms of empirical type I errors and power.
Nevertheless, the approximate test was easier to compute than the asymptotic test.
