A General Framework for Testing a Null Hypothesis in a “Mixed” Form

A general framework for asymptotic tests is proposed. The framework contains as particular cases tests based on various estimation techniques: maximum likelihood methods, pseudo-maximum likelihood (PML) methods and quasi-generalized PML methods, m-estimation methods, moments or generalized moments method, and asymptotic least squares. Moreover the null hypothesis has a general mixed form, including the usual implicit and explicit form.
