The Neyman–Pearson fundamental lemma is generalized under g-probability. With convexity assumptions, a sufficient and necessary condition which characterizes the optimal randomized tests is obtained via a maximum principle for stochastic control.

Le lemme fondamental de Neyman–Pearson est généralisé au cas de g-probabilités. Sous des hypothèses de convexité, une condition suffisante et nécessaire caractérisant le test randomisé optimal est obtenue au moyen du principe du maximum dans le cadre du contrôle stochastique.
