Abstract

We find the effective importance sampling procedures for the simulation of large and moderate large deviations of tests and estimators. The computational burden of these effective procedures has no exponential rate as in the direct simulation. The results are applied to the simulation of large and moderate large deviations of L,M,R-statistics and omega-square tests.
