Abstract

Approximate and asymptotic distributional results are obtained for the likelihood ratio test of the hypothesis that a time series is composed from s sinusoidal components, at unknown frequencies, with additive Gaussian white noise, against the hypothesis that there are an additional r sinusoidal components at unknown frequencies. The work extends that of Fisher (1929), and contains a number of simulations illustrating the results.
