Likelihood ratio test for univariate Gaussian mixture

We consider Gaussian mixtures and particularly the problem of testing homogeneity, that is testing no mixture, against a mixture with two components. Seven distinct cases are addressed, corresponding to the possible restrictions on the parameters. For each case, we give a statistic that we claim to be the likelihood ratio test statistic. The proof is given in a simple case. With the help of a bound for the maximum of a Gaussian process we calculate the percentile points. The results are illustrated by simulation.
